For an example, why are we behind in life longevity and infant mortality rate?


Can you determine from your sources whether infant mortality rates in the USA exclude births of "Americans" to illegals? I ask because I hear numbers like over 50% of births are to illegals today and in mexico the infant mortality rate is around 19 deaths per 1000 so they could be contributing negatively to the statistics and making a good system (ours) look far worse than it really is on this metric.

Perhaps we need a better yard stick to measure our health systems performance than the two you used or at least a breakdown by ethicity or citizenship.

The longevity one is easy - McDonalds. :-)
