2009 estimated deaths per 1000 live births in the US is 6.26 putting us in the same league as Belarus and Poland, behind 44 other nations and pretty close to dead last among traditional First World countries.

Considering our health care spend (15% of GDP) is dramatically higher than any other nation, I'd say that's pretty pathetic.
