Infant mortality rate in the US is on third world levels. Your hospitals suck.
You have no idea what you're talking about. Infant mortality is affected by a whole host of factors and very little of it has to do with the quality of hospitals.
A better metric that people like you have either never heard of or deliberately ignore, that actually measures comparative health care quality, is survivability from treatable diseases.
The US has higher survival rates than Canada from literally all of the major leading causes of natural death. Heart disease, cancer of all kinds etc...
And hospital bills are the number one cause of bankruptcy in your country.
Canada has just about the slowest health care system in the developed world.
60% of Canadians, the majority, wait a month or longer to see a specialist, compared to only 20% of Americans.

Canadians are more likely to die from slow and substandard care than Americans are to die from lack of care. Cancer is the biggest or second biggest killer in pretty much every advanced country and the US survival rate from cancer is higher than Canada's.
202,400 Canadians are diagnosed with cancer each year, with about 7/10 surviving. If Canada had the same survival rate the US has, an additional 6679 Canadians would survive.
It is estimated that (before Obamacare) 45,000 Americans died from lack of care in the US every year.
The US has about 9 times the population, but only about 6 times as many Americans die from lack of care as Canadians die from shitty cancer treatment.
Fact: Canadians are more likely to die as a result of substandard care concerning just one disease, than Americans are to die from lack of care.
The US has the most responsive health care system in the world.
Even uninsured Americans get better cancer treatment than Canadians do.
Slow and unresponsive health care is a bigger problem in Canada than crippling medical debt is in the US.
