Reply #90: no knock against cuba,

[hughee99]

They seem to have done a great job in this area. I do wonder, though, how the US statistics are affected by so-called "crack babies" and by those older people who use fertility drugs, and are more likely to have complications during pregnancy. I had heard that Cuba doesn't have nearly the illegal drug problem that the US does, and I know that the use of fertility drugs is far more widespread in the US than Cuba. I'm not sure what the overall effect on the US infant mortality rate is, so if anyone has any information on this, I'd love to hear it. I've done some web-searching, but haven't really found any helpful statistics.
