Child Infant mortality rate per 1000 births….

Take a look at this list of countries, and there infant birth deaths per 1000. This info is available at the CIA world fact book web site, and is current as of 2008. What the F&*% is going on? For the $160 + billion we spent on healthcare, we end up with results lesser than countries like Andorra, Macau, Malta, and the other 27 countries ahead of Canada in this measurement of more than just infant loss of life, and suffering of parents. It is also a measure of fiscal efficiency, technological advancements and there mass application, government compassion and motivations, and systematic modernization in the face of the world population doubling from 1965 to present.
With the allotted money for healthcare, and the 10 billion dollar surplus, why don’t we send an envoy to these countries and do some homework? The investment might yield some ideas as to why we cannot keep up with these Icelandic’s?…..

I realize that I take a lot of aim at the healthcare system, and this is because I have been exposed to it on many levels, private, provincial (in three different provinces), and military. I cannot begin to say enough about the people who do there best in the system everyday, and I thank all of those workers. Nice and Evil alike!!! Just because the hospital peeled your rump out of a pile of rubble and fixed your broken back, does not justify the dismissal of fiscal irresponsibility, and stone age regulations and regulators. The management of the system will put the people and the country in a better spot. Physically, mentally, fiscally. Our children will be able to enjoy the same and better health rights if we reform intellectually with the evolution of society.
