Keep on spinnin', facts are facts. The good ol' USA is being beat out by MANY different countries in this area. As a mother of 4,I know how screw- ups by doctors nearly killed 3 of my 4 children. You don't need a PHD to figure out there's something rotten in Denmark.... well maybe not Denmark. Safer having babies there!
Please provide the link between socialized medicine and infantr mortality rates. The only one spinning here is you. You make a straight forward statement yet cannot back it up with evidence.
I am not spinning anything... if you have such great experience in international medicine than right a book... I doubt there be anyone there to read it...

Are you kidding me? Look at the title of your link in the first post.
The current system is broken because health care has been turned from the healing arts into plain old businesses. It's unbelievable that people aren't outraged at our infant mortality rate, but in terms of a general mortality rate, we rank 50th. It's difficult to say that we have "the best health care in the world" when the statistics don't back that up that contention.

People with socialized medicine see their doctor on a regular basis. That means lots of prenatal and postnatal care. That means a lower infant mortality rate. On the other hand, in this society where copays can bankrupt a young family and many young people are working for fairly low wages, many don't have health insurance. That means when they start a family, they don't have the money to meet the deductible, consequently they don't get the prenatal or the post natal care they need. The end result is that in countries with socialized medicine the infant mortality is less than in a society where you must have copays that can bankrupt a family.
