Ranked by life expectancy, the US of A is 36th in the world.
Can anyone here guess what the 35 countries ahead of us all have in common?
Also, the World Health Organization ranks us at 37th in the world in terms of health care systems, again, can anyone guess what the nations ahead of us have in common?

Most of them don't record infant death like we do.

I think you are thinking of Infant Mortality rates, not life expectancy.

Many of these countries don't make out a death certificate for a deceased infant so they don't get included in the stats, we do. Also we lose more in car accidents because we are spread out and people drive to work. You should look at the stats for how many people actually own a car in other countries and how many miles they drive per year, per person.

Lower murder rates, not full accounting of infant deaths and several other non healthcare related reasons.
