Deaths due to medical mistakes are still irrelevant to the issue of national comparisons unless you can show a difference between the frequency of those here vs elsewhere. Personally I think we're likely better than other countries there.

As for that Aunt Tillie you hate, she's not relevant to cancer survival rates.

Infant mortality, overall mortality and life expectancy aren't good comparisons. There are things other than the quality of the health care system that impact those in a big way.

Its a shame you can't understand things like this.
