Another article on our healthcare crisis. Tell me again how we have the best healthcare system in the world?

"Here's a wrenching fact: If the U.S. had an infant mortality rate as good as Cuba's, we would save an additional 2,212 American babies a year.
Yes, Cuba's. Babies are less likely to survive in America, with a health care system that we think is the best in the world, than in impoverished and autocratic Cuba. According to the latest C.I.A. World Factbook, Cuba is one of 41 countries that have better infant mortality rates than the U.S."

I have to compliment the Northwestern on the recent articles about the problems with Oshkosh's Healthcare costs vs service.
