I agree that there are lot of areas that need work, or improving in this country. But I would like to see where we would break out, compared to the individual countries in Europe, vice the EU. Not really fair to compare (1) country against a conglomerate of countries. To make it really fair they should have listed where the individual countries ranked in each one of the catagories, vice just listing the ones where the U.S. was ranked low (although it may not have helped support there cause). To I have worked in the medical field for 15 years, have been to several under developed countries and visited there hospitals and clinics, and would dispute the fact on infant mortality. Maybe by sheer numbers, but I doubt if your broke it down in some sort of total precent. But who knows I maybe wrong.
