The Doctor Is In: Infant Mortality Comparisons a Statistical Miscarriage
I just read recently that 49% of the kindergarten-age children in the USA are non-white. Since blacks have a lot more venereal disease than whites, and venereal disease is strongly associated with premature birth, it is no surprise that the USA has worse infant mortality rates than someplace like Switzerland, which has very few blacks, and very few impoverished illegal aliens. Blacks also give birth to their children at earlier ages than whites do, and the article points out that teenagers have more premies & low-birth-weight babies.
If you compare the health outcomes of whites in this country to that of whites in European countries, I doubt that socialized medicine would come out looking too good. You also have to consider levels of cigarette smoking, etc., which can vary a lot from country to country and from ethnic group to ethnic group.
The way that elderly people are treated in Britain is NOT something that I would want to see in the USA. They wait years for hip replacement surgery, etc. Very sad.
Never trust social science “statistics.” They are nearly always misleading at best.
