First, we are generally dealing with differences of a year or two, in life expectancy, or a difference of less than five additional deaths per 10,000, in infant mortality. In other words, we are dealing with slight statistical differences. But mainly, the data is unanalyzed. For example, we take in more immigrants than the EU countries. How does that effect our statistics? Blacks are delinquent in using pre- natal care, even when it is clearly available to them, and have a higher infant mortality rate than whites. No one quite knows why the Japanese exceed other industrialized countries in these indices. Etc. Thus, it is hard to draw vast conclusions from such raw data. And, of course, quality of life issues are not addressed at all........

Sorry to make a point and run, but it is dinner time, and the natives are restless. Take care!
