Abstract: In this paper I study infant mortality, health care spending, medical resource availability, and lifestyle issues in the United States relative to the other member countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). I find that the United States performs poorly relative to its peers. While the United States spends more per capita by far than any other member country, it has a higher infant mortality rate and fewer medical resources than most other OECD member countries.
