Universal Health Care








Well, we certainly don't pay for the quality. The United States is one of the lowest
ranking countries in the modernized world for newborn baby survival rate. We have
an average rate of 5 babies out of 1000 not making it. That average goes up if you
happen to be black to 9 out of 1000. Of course we're not alone, we share this
prestigious ranking with Hungary, Malta, Poland and Slovakia....ahem let me repeat
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS TIED WITH HUNGARY, MALTA, POLAND AND
SLOVAKIA IN THE BABY SURVIVAL BUSINESS. Here's the kicker the average cost of
delivering a baby in a U.S. hospital is $8,000-$10,000 as opposed to
Canada's $2,800 - $4,600 or say $0-0 in Spain or Slovakia.
