Wouldn't infant mortality rates have a lot more to do with prenatal care in industrialized nations? I doubt more kids in the US are dying because of a lower standard of care and more likely because of more drug addicted/alcoholic/poorer nourished moms. Using infant mortality as a proxy in an industrialized nation is just hacking the stats.
If you don't think such things matter, then explain how Hispanic women on the west coast have both the lowest access to health care and also the lowest death rate from cancer? DNA? Diet? Low stress? Could be. But either way, their exceptionally low cancer rates don't reflect upon the US health care system.
