Perfect example of a governmental "solution" (socialized health care) to a government-caused problem (high cost of care). Instead of giving us more of what is killing us, why not remove the causes of the problem?
Marc PS - the infant mortality statistics are bogus; they are a record-keeping artefact. Other countries (notably Sweden, to which the USA is always being compared) don't "count" a child as born until it has reached a certain age (three weeks in Sweden). Guess when most infant deaths occur?
