But infant mortality is a good indicator, in fact its an excellent indicator.
The healthcare system is currently broken, I don't see how anyone can deny that. I think that a large part of the problem is that it is an effective cartel, they can overcharge because they all overcharge. A nationalised healthcare system prevents that from happening.
Edit: @kraan. I hope thats sarcasm, there will not be death panels. Its as stupid a rumour as Obama is a muslim.
