It's true.

3/4 of the world's neonatal deaths are counted only through a 5-year retrospective survey instead of when they happen, so you know they're grossly under-reported.

Many countries report the the deaths as stillbirths, even when they're alive, instead of categorizing them as we do. Some studies show that even Europe has under-reported between 10 to 30%.

I've heard about that before. But those are babies. I'm talking about the mothers.

Doesn’t have to be.  Not to be snide,  but you can move.  I’m sure you’re way over qualified to get whatever job you want in another country.

But, more relevant to the topic, I get great health care here. Right when I got out of college things were sketchy, but since then the wife and I can see good dentists and doctors whenever we want to and never worry about the cost. Leaving would not improve our health care, so why would we leave? It's the girl pouring your coffee, or taking your money at the grocery store, or the guy who helped redo your roof, who really should consider leaving.
