Don't count blacks and our infant mortality and longevity are just as good as in Europe

Rush analyzes things like the infant mortality and life expectancy statistics well.

I believe that most of what he says is true. Such overall statistics are always made up of subgroups which take the larger number one way or the other.

I would hope that Rush isn't trying to say that this means the overall stats are inaccurate, or that 'not counting the Blacks, the US has a high life expectancy'. Now that would be a very dishonest thing to do. It would become a game that anyone could play.

Our society IS made up of all these subgroups, so they all count. Otherwise, all Rush would be saying is that non-poor white Americans have the best health care in the world...but of course we knew that. It's not what the health care debate is about.

Glad that's not what Rush could've meant.
