the statistics on such standard measures as life
expectancy and infant mortality put many countries ahead of the USA.

Assuming, of course, that all countries report infant mortality
statistics the same way, and have a similar bulge in deaths of
males between the ages of 15 and 25.

You know, Doug, I seem claims made in the UK, about the US, which don't
stand up to being tested against reality, and other claims which do.
It's not just limited to health care.

And now you and others are repeating this claim about health statistics
with, as far as I can tell, no evidence.

If I'm being lied to about the USA, why should you assume there are no
lies common in the USA about the rest of the world?
