 i don't want to start this discussion all over again, but these babies survive over here all the time too. and i worked in the medical industry for 7 years - 5 years of that for Siemens Medical which is next to GE the biggest manufacturer of medical devices.
it's just that over here people are required to have a (in most cases) affordable health insurance - all costs are covered with that and you walk out of the hospital with your baby and a zero Euro invoice.
not that the system is perfect, but i prefer it way over a $160k bill 
now back to congratulating...
