Are you an expert on data reporting systems? Have you done research into the effectiveness of health data reporting systems of western nations? How many things are there that are "like" stillbirth? What are they? Why are these things a particular problem?
Maybe your focus is a little off. There are many more health care resources within a stone's throw of any inner city resident than there are for a rural resident. The countryside isn't wealthy or densely populated enough to support GP's, much less medical specialties or significant hospital resources. This is why we have a rural health care crisis.
This is an imaginary excuse. The population of the EU is substantially larger than that of the US. They are culturally diverse and speak 23 different languages. As a group, they receive better overall health care than we do and at lower per capita cost.
No one is proposing free health care anywhere.
The usual finger-pointing fish stories and old wives' tales.
I'm sure you're on top of the situation and all, but USPS still gets a letter from one American to any other in two days for 45 cents. The fact that idiots in Congress have saddled them and them alone with an obligation to invest billions in prefunding retiree health benefits is not material to the fact. I wish them well in refusals to make those payments.
There aren't any statistics for "without medical care".
Ever the optimist. As a cancer survivor, I'm actually pretty happy with what good medical coverage made available to me.
I haven't found fear of death to be so common among liberals and certainly not among atheists. It seems to me that such folks would pragmatically prefer to avoid death whenever possible, but fully recognize and rather matter-of-factly accept its ultimate inevitability.
Except in cases such as military and VA hospitals, the government actually provides health care financing, not health care. It is also health care financing that PPACA focuses on. Such problems as USPS has are not management problems. They are financial issues brought on by the Great Bush Recession and a bunch of idiots in Congress who demand that they put an unnecessary $5.5 billion in a shoebox every year.
We have the highest health care costs in the world because we have a wasteful profit-driven, fee-for-service health care system. The factors you try to hide behind actually exist everywhere. Differences are at the margin. The US is 34th in per capita tobacco consumption by the way. The task of every health care system is to care for the health of the population. If a population is overweight, smokes too much, or consumes a lot of sugar, the health care system needs to deal with those issues. It is no different from a population that drinks beer or wine by the liter, makes everything out of potatoes, or lives in a frigid climate.
