Paul, I'm glad you found these links helpful-- did you run across this one for the highly regarded Population Reference Bureau?
http://www.prb.org/Publications/Datasheets/2016/2016-world-population-data-sheet.aspx
This is excellent, not just their discussion but especially their tables containing key data on every country on Earth-  very helpful in understanding world events.   If we pick out just four key  health stats for five nations a   pattern emerges:
INFANT MORTALITY RATE: Norway 2.4, Canada 4, Cuba 4.2, US 6, Dominican Republic 31.
LIFE EXPECTANCY, MALE: Norway 80, Canada 79, Cuba 78, US 76, Dominican Rep. 71
LIFE EXPECTANCY, FEMALE: Norway 84, Canada 84, Cuba 82, US 81, Dominican Rep. 77    
MATERNAL MORTALITY RATE: Norway 5, Canada 7, US 14, Cuba 39, Dominican Rep. 92
 [I.M., deaths per 1000 live births; Maternal Mortality,  deaths per 100,000 births]   

Looking at this data, Paul, we wonder why the US has rather mediocre health, given our wealth and what we pay.
