Sure it has. That's the significant variable. You saying it doesn't make it so. Unless you want to believe that our people "in poverty" are much more degenerate and irresponsible than the 44 countries that have lower infant mortality rates. Especially since the more "socialist countries" have much, much lower infant mortality rates. So which is it, is our system creating a degenerate and irresponsible low middle to lower class, or is our health system neglecting our low middle to lower class? The stats are clear. What's your answer? What stats? The only stats that are clear is that infant mortality rates are higher one place than the other. It simply is not determinative of the underlying reason. You may have had an introductory course in statistics at some point in your life (it isn't evident, if so, but nevertheless). If so, one of the things you would have learned is that correlation doesn't show causality. Absent some EVIDENCE to suggest that the higher infant mortality rate is CAUSED BY an inferior healthcare system (as opposed to other factors), you simply can't draw the conclusions you're trying to draw.
