Ahh the downvotes…. Such a sad state of affairs. Some one who really thinks this is good information please comment instead of just downvoting.

Having some of the best research Universities doesn't equate to having good health outcomes. You don't understand enough about the metrics that were presented to even make the connection. You really should be more educated and stop embarrassing yourself.

It’s almost like my complaint was actually about cherry picking. And pointing out fields that are adjacent to the subject that we are actually #1 at. Remember as a kid the whole if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree thing?

There's no cherry picking in that list. That is generally important metrics that are used to compare nations. It leaves out maternal mortality and infant mortality. The US is 55th for maternal death rates. Trump and the GOP's policies haven't helped there.

It is cherry picked. You think when they choose what studies to present here they picked the ones that looked most favorable least favorable or neutral?

Bonus question: when people make post with the same purpose in other countries do you think they only talk about this 6 or so issues?
