#1 Yes, USA has a high infant mortality rate because we don't simply abort-away problems, we try to save them which doesn't always work. Only a scoundral would use that stat.

#2 I did a lot of research on the Cuban health care system working on my PhD in Heathcare Administration.

The biggest kicker to their system is they don't treat doctors like royalty. They expect them to do their residency in public health clinics providing free care to the low ecostrata and they spend a lot of time and effort on preventive medicine and prenatal/post partum health care.

If we can ever get these snot nosed kids in medical school to not expect to make $500K a year as soon as they graduate, it would be a start.

Ask the people seeking medical care (Cuban or otherwise) in VZ right now how much they like it.

#4 ..its that 500K a year that draws the ~~sharks~~ lawyers who are able to play on that greed. Given the 'profession' does a lousy job of self policing, the fall back is often the tort system. All of which end up adding even more costs to medical care. The socialist don't have the same expensive 'legal' system either (or Bill of Rights therein).

In the UK they have to import doctors from the third world because not enough locals want to spend the long hours studying their butts off for an average paycheck.

#7 a lot (perhaps 30%) of the practicing medical doctors in the US are also foreign imports
