- hmottestad 2y agoLife expectancy in the US is behind 47 countries according to https://www.worldometers.info/demographics/life-expectancy/ https://www.worldometers.info/demographics/life-expectancy/ Infant mortality rate is behind 53 countries: https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/field/infant-mortality-rate/country-comparison/ https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/field/infant-mortalit... This definitely won’t be representative of the full spectrum of health care, but it’s what I found after a quick search. I wouldn’t call it woefully behind, but definitely not winning any medals anytime soon.
