Tsk, tsk, tsk, don't dodge the question. In all of your extensive research you haven't found any differences in how countries calculate infant mortality? It is a rather straight forward question. Why won't/can't you answer it?

Why don't you admit you have accepted what is spoon fed to you by the left, and I will find provide you with a very mainstream source that will put you out of your misery, and prevent you from ever using infant mortality as a metric fr quality of healthcare ever again.

Some 50 million lives were lost in WW II alone and you call that a 'minor recent incident'? 'Enlightened' my achin' hairy ass.

Obamacare will make matters exponentially worse. Not to mention 30 million more people competing for the same resources.
Bingo!

Here's one that is "baffled" as well. I don't want to be paying for healthcare, I want to focus on running my businesses. I also don't want my fellow Americans going without proper healthcare. What does being an entrepreneur have to do with universal healthcare??

Since you're so much more "grown-up" than I am (and therefore you are better than me), why don't you impart your hard-won wisdom rather than just writing "Cheers!"?


Peace,

By choice? Who doesn't want insurance? It's an expense decision.

I never suggested that the healthcare system didn't need improvement, but that the 90% of the population that has access to healthcare needn't be penalized for the 10% that do not.
I think it's less than 90% who has access, and what do you do with the minority - but a substantial minority - that does not have access?

I have been trying to, but you resist so, but that is to be expected from the young.

Cheers!
