The article listed 35 points - Cuba ranked above the US in one of them. You can either look at the bigger picture or make snide comments about minute details - your choice.
Unless you genuinely believe that those Cubans trying to get into America are doing so solely under the misperception that the US has lower infant mortality rates than Cuba, in which case, carry on.

I apologize for the sarcasm. Being a child of immigrant parents from third world countries (one being from Cuba who floated over in one of those rickety old makeshift rafts BTW), seeing shit like this makes me want to shout at people who take this country for granted. People's lack of gratitude for all they have and all they can have in this country (not just materially, but spiritually and personally) drives me insane.
Does that mean we're peferct? Of course not, but overall this is still the greatest nation on Earth that people are dying to get into. And that fact, is nowhere to be seen in the article
