Utter nonsense.

Your >public education system is an international laughing stock

So why do Europeons troop here for an education?

In one or two school districts in the whole USA.

Must be why the Mexicans are flooding our country.

The big problem in the world is the utter brain washing foisted by the media, and believed by the truly ignorant.

Loading thread data ...

It certainly does a lot less for people who can't pay than it does for people with health insurance and a lot less than the UK or Cuban health services would.

As I understand it, Michael Moore's "Sicko" dramatised the point by flying a bunch of indigient U.S. patients to Cuba ...

Your public health statistics don't compare well with those of poorer countries - here's infant mortality.

To perfect their English, mostly.

So why do so many of their graduates post here?

The average Mexican immigrant isn't illiterate.

Sure, and Jim is a prize example of the gullible ignoramus.

Such interesting data. In 1960 the US was not even in the top 10 for lowest infant mortality, and it still is not. Yet in the intervening years the US rate for infant mortality dropped by 2/3 (from 26 per thousand to 7.1 per thousand). Most of the 1960 top ten is not 1999 top 10 in spite of 50% or better reductions in infant mortality. The data reflects not so much failure of the US, but raising of the standard worldwide, largely made possible by exports of US medical advances.

Not nearly a tenth as gullable as you Bill.

The infant mortality data is a gimmick often cited by detractors ignorant of certain facts.

Among other things, we count *all* births, whereas various 'leading' countries do not count still-borns, low-birth weight babies, preemies, babies born with fatal defects, and generally, babies not judged to be 'viable' at birth.

You'll notice the document Bill linked says "Data are based on reporting by countries." That's a disclaimer, and that's why they need it.
