I'm sure the Iraqui civilians living without the above since the
carpet-bombing by the U.S. during the Gulf War would agree with you!

OTOH, the women living under the Taliban didn't even have medical care
at all, miracle or no, because the regime wouldn't let women become
physicians, and wouldn't let male physicians treat women. So many
died from disease and problems in childbirth. Catch 22, I think they
call it.

It should be pointed out that during doctor strikes, death rates drop! When
they go back to work, they rise again.

It should also be pointed out that the "stats" you are reporting
pertain only to the "developed" world, not to a Taliban-like regime
where nobody has freedom to do anything.

You said "during doctor strikes". When/where were these?
Straight question.
