What about infant mortality? How are we doing there?
We're around 21st in the world. Not too bad. Except that as the richest country, we should really be #1. Every country ahead of us has universal health care, including Cuba, a poor country. And Canada, at 4.63 (didn't copy with the chart) is doing great. So for every 1000 babies born in the U.S., 2 more die than in Canada. Hmmm. How many of them are caused by lack of health insurance? That is harder still, but as my time permits, will be the next thing I'll try to find out for us.
