Market about to be flooded with foreign buyers

US: 6.4
Mexico: 19.6
China: 22.1
India: 34.6

Dont forget Cuba!

Cuba: 5.3

Cuba ended 2006 recording its lowest infant mortality rate ever with 5.3 infant deaths per every thousand live births according to the W.H.O.

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 believe this is because there is so much IVF treatment going on here that babies get born prematurely much more often. If the child is born and stabilizes, then the baby has a much better chance of survival than the 6.3/1000 figure suggests because about 50% of infant mortality is after premature births.

I wouldn’t exactly call a country with +$179,100,000,000 “third world”. Meanwhile, US is $ -862,300,000,000 …..

Isn’t it amazing what can be accomplished when most of your billion+ population is working 80 hours a week in sweat shops to produce consumer goods for Western consumption!

Agreed, WHATAD, the US figure of 6.4/1000 is actually nothing to be proud of considering how wealthy we are. Cuba, as poor as it is, is better than us at keeping babies healthy — it just shows how screwed up our priorities are that it’s not a national shame that we don’t have the best infant care in the world. Why don’t our presidential candidates talk about that? Maybe it doesn’t sell well to the public…

Chalk one up for universal healthcare.

But like I say, the high number is a result of our ambition to help families have children who might otherwise be unable to. Also people will spend a lot of money to try and save what most systems would consider lost causes. So the statistic isnt exactly an apples to apples comparison. If other nations used as much IVF and spent as much money trying to save premature babies (that have no chance) then their numbers would be higher too.

w_a_d, I assume that China is universal health care, too, like Coooba.

China also offer universal ‘unhealthcare,’ if you are child number two, or a daughter, or a Falun Gong prisoner selected to ‘donate’ your kidney or liver to a cash-paying Westerner on the mainland for a transplant.

A lot of Indian/Chinese engineers on H-1 already own homes in Southern California.
