There are 50 countries that have lower infant mortality rates than the US - this according to the CIA, which last I looked was a US organization

As I have explained many countries...including Cuba...do not count premature births that die as having been a live birth because they do not have either the financial ability and/or the medical capability to care for them.
The U.S. spends the money and has the medical capability (plus the law probably requires it) to care for premature births...of which 30-40% do not live beyond the first day of their birth and they are counted as live births...live or die.
