Thank God for Latvia

So, it has come to this. The United States is second only to Latvia in newborn deaths in the developed world. Are we ashamed yet? Are we ready to get serious about universal health care yet, or do we need some more tax breaks for the richest?

All the chest-thumpers out there who mindlessly shout about their Christianity and their nationalism (as in "God bless the USA, the greatest country on earth") might want to reconsider. Surely we can do better.
