> US is also a super bad infant mortality rate compared to other countries: Access to healthcare is quite low in the US compared to most of the 50 countries ahead of us. We also have higher levels of poverty, ESPECIALLY for a lot of parents/children. GDP is irrelevant. The paper says: > In 2013, the US infant mortality rate (IMR) ranked 51st internationally, comparable to Croatia, despite an almost three-fold di erence in GDP per capita If you have high GDP per capita, and more poor people per capita, and health care is not free - you're going to have more people not accessing health care and suffering the consequences. In this world - I would expect infant mortality to be much higher even when the healthcare systems are equal.
