Survey of Health Care in the US

This is a very interesting and telling study of where the US ranks in terms of health care comared to other similar industrialized countries. I can't help but wonder whether a major reason for the US falling short of other countries on most measures is due to the disparity in health care across the population in the US. For example, we have the highest infant mortality in the group and the highest incidence of mothers dying in childbirth. I suspect the incidence in both cases is unevenly distributed across economic class--low for well-to-do and high for everyone else
