I'm all with you, but the infant mortality thing ain't what you think. Americans try to save ever water-headed baby, no matter what, and count it a death if they can't.
Europeans have the more level-headed notion that, "Kid was dying no matter what support we gave. Don't count."
Course we could easily point out infant mortality rates when comparing ethnicity and income. There's some hellish rotten meat on that particular bone.
