Quote: As for infant mortality rates in this country? They are largely skewed due to the fact that many third world countries do not go out of their way to try and save underweight or otherwise impacted births simply allowing them to die and reporting them as stillborn. whereas in the US we go the extra mile to try and save them and as a result the numbers in terms of infant mortality look much worse due to the reporting methodology.
Actually I was referring to westernized industrial nations only, not any of the third world which does implement the methods you describe. And, mea culpa, I did take liberties with your quote since you never actually brought socialism into the discussion.
I guess my biggest question at this point is how does system of national health care prevent you from seeking the level of care that you can afford if you can in fact afford to pay more for better doctors or better insurance? Do the Canadian or British systems prevent you from seeking superior care if it's available and you have the means? I don't know that's why I ask.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
