I don't think the whole point of health care reform was about infant mortality rates. The QUALITY of US healthcare is very good but the whole system needs reform because costs have spiraled out of control. The US government currently (i.e. pre-Obamacare) spends more per capita on the health system than Canada and Australia do - despite those two countries providing universal healthcare! Treatments/hospital visits that cost $10,000+ in the USA often cost less than $1,000 in Australia and quality of care is pretty much the same. There's something rotten about the healthcare market in America and it needs fixing. I'm not saying Obamacare is the solution (actually I truly believe it isn't) but we definitely need something.
