On the equivalency issue - you (and all of us) need to calibrate our discussions and stats. For example - Cuba advertises outrageously good health numbers. What gets reported is the lower infant mortality rate, but under the covers they have a much higher stillborn rate than we do. Combine the two and you see that despite a much less homogeneous population and higher drug use rate we actually have a lower rate of infant death.

This kind of stats usage also occurs with Western European and Canadian data.

John, I am willing to believe this is possible but not willing to accept it without a serious look at some data.

Our problem is the uncovered, not the quality of care.

Stated at this level of generality, you and I are on the same track. But there is much under the hood, so to speak.
