KT,

I read a few articles on those studies (which were done by people with agendas to begin with). They were shot down when examined closely. Many things are measured differently in different countries.

For example, our technology is so extraordinary, we try to save massively more premature babies than other countries. However, we lose some. So our stats on infant mortality look bad, but we are saving WAAAAAAY more children. Other countries just write those babies off and don't even try. There are dozens of stats like that.

If I had the links I would provide them, but I never bookmarked them.

The fact of the matter is that if you have insurance, you get wildly better health care here than anywhere else.
