"Infants and children in the U.S. are dying at higher rates than in other wealthy, developed countries.
A new study estimates that the U.S. sees 20,000 excess pediatric deaths per year relative to a group of 16 other countries.
The researchers point to high infant mortality rates, along with deaths caused by guns and drug overdoses, as some of the reasons for the disparity."
