That said we were mystified at how well our neighbors were to the system...

You're on non prescription drugs right???? http://www.photius.com/rankings/healthranks.html problem is alot of countries do not report their statistics the same as each other.....BCBrian likes to point out that infant survival stats are better for Canada than the US.....course what he doesnt tell you that in order for a baby in Canada to be considered "born" it has to live for 24 hours first where the US includes all births into its stats including still births..... so on its face Canada looks ALOT better than the US, in reality there aint much difference.....
