On par with the third world like Cuba!

Infant mortality rate is due to trying to give birth to the most difficult pregnancies on earth.

Obesity or abundance is the cause of lowered life expectancy.

Both of which are the opposite of like the third world.

Imagine be4lieving Cuba is superior in any way, shape or form.

Leftists and uniformed foreigners like the Singaporean who’s healthcare system my tax dollars subsidize should educate themselves.

The author can extol the virtues of big government liberal socialism while for 20yrs, 1000 people a day have moved from blue to red states.

Infant mortality is one I've pointed out for years is not an apples to apples comparison. If a baby is under a certain weight (MUCH more likely to die), they are not counted as a "live birth" in much of the rest of the world including all European countries and I have no doubt in Cuba as well. They ARE counted as a live birth in the US. When a significant percentage of those low birth weight babies then die, its counted as the US having a higher infant mortality rate. BS. This is not comparing like for like.

The infant mortality stats aren’t calculated the same way from country to country- I doubt Iceland includes the deliberate culling of Down’s syndrome babies as part of its infant mortality stats. Other countries simply do not record some deaths - stats from dictatorships like Cuba that have no opposition candidates cannot be assumed to be accurate at all.
From what I understand the US includes aborted infants and other children in the mortality stats that simply are not recorded elsewhere.

It is like educational stats where people compare the success of a prefiltered group of children in one country where the poor performers were weeded out by the system and sent to the trades years before and not allowed to proceed up the ladder to college- to that of the US where the stats are for the entire group of kids in that age bracket who have not been presorted at all.

I agree, pulling out the trope about Cuba indicates really defective analysis or even awareness of what’s going on around him.

What you say is totally true, but how many here even understand how it’s done?
