Seems like guns and driving are the major factors.

not sure what your point is, tim? it's obvious that the lack of a health care system in the usa is killing babies, children, and moms. guns and cars kill people, too; but so does our barbaric, overpriced, inefficient health care non-system
-
Sure, but when you say “no” to the assertion that guns & driving kill a lot of pre-adults, it kind of rankles. All of the above are problems worthy of addressing imo

Jim's assertion was not that guns and driving "kill a lot", but rather that they were "the major factors". They may be the major factors for teens but they are not major factors for infants. (Teens and infants were the two comparatively worst populations in the study.)

Infant mortality in the US is due to an underfunded prenatal & postnatal system. All other ages of children here are disproportionately harmed by guns. http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2017/06/15/peds.2016-3486 … The latter effect is strongest in the Midwest and South.

Best country in the world!

Go live in another country .... ANY other country .... and THEN make that statement.

Yeah Living in one of those other countries where children are less likely to die must be a real nightmare.

Shocking! The healthcare conversation will become more constructive when we admit that the USA healthcare system is ranked 37th in the world (#1 for profitability). This is a topic that Vox should explore:http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp0910064 …

That's because we really are no longer a "rich country." We just have some exceedingly rich people living here.

“Perhaps most startling, children between the ages of 15 and 19 are 82 times more likely to die from gun homicide in the United States than in peer countries.”
