Politicians love the sweeping generalizations and slogans (often very effective), "The Canadian health care system, even with the queues, bests the U.S.," was recently Bloomberg.com report, infant mortality is stated to be 34% higher in the U.S. u.Listopada 2008 report from the Centers for Disease Control puts the U.S. at the 29th infant mortality, tied with Slovakia and Hungary and trailing Cuba (recently Commentary magazine titled "We're number two?" Thomas Hazlett). Are such statements - apparently statistically - a compelling and truthful? Possible reactions the average American is, "How is that possible?" But then comes the pervasive thought: "But if that is what the data show -!"
...Americans are proud of our country's achievements in all fields, especially in technology and medicine, all aspects of them, and the comparative statement of the shortcomings of the U.S. infant mortality re-evokes widespread interest, particularly troublesome - they all love children, so helpless and gentle. Thus, infant mortality after the third world countries - what are apples-to-apples facts? United States, apparently with the top medical needs, with all births taking place in a modern, sanitary hospitals, germ-free, with trained nurses and doctors and drugs and all types of equipment - are lagging behind the Third World with their mid-wives, children born in all conditions, certainly not to the standards of the U.S.! In order to be true?
...Denigrating America data seized upon by advocates of health reform - for example, comparing Canada, with its mandatory public health insurance in the U.S. with its primarily private insurance: the U.S. is 6.9 deaths per 1,000 births, while Canada has only 5.3, almost a quarter less. However, in examining the details, explanations and enlightenment follows: America is three times the proportion of teen-age mothers, which resulted in more premature low birth weight babies - teen pregnancy, drugs, drinking and smoking - the culture of the factors that cause teen-age pregnancies . Of importance is difficult by the fact that in each age category of birth-mothers, the United States are equal to or better child survival statistics.

...comparisons between Cuba (5.8 deaths per 1000) and the United States (6.9 deaths per 1,000 - 19% more) can similarly be caused by: Author Hazlett read: "Michael Moore film 'Sicko' live in the rankings place Cuba ahead of America in the infant-mortality race. "However, the key factor is the criterion of what constitutes child's" death ": in Cuba is by far the greater mortality of mothers give birth, then death of infant mortality has been eliminated from the total. Interestingly, the Cubans who live in the U.S. ("apples to apples" comparison), the rate was only 4.2 deaths per thousand, or infant mortality is 28% lower in the U.S. than in Cuba.
