So I went to the World Health Organization's website and looked up countries on the continent of America (North America, Central America and South America). The stat I look at is: "Probability of dying between 15 and 60 years m/f (per 1 000 population, 2013)"

The USA's stands at 127/76 which means out of 1000 people, 127 males aged between 15 - 60 won't make it. What that means is, if you follow 8 random people who are 15 in the US, one of them will probably die before reaching 60 for whatever reason. For women, that figure sits at 76/1000.

So, I've collected this data on continental American countries and sort them from lowest to highest (male only):

Canada - 81/52
Chile - 107/55
Costa Rica - 111/64
Peru - 116/90
USA - 127/76
Belize - 145/78
Colombia - 148/73
Uruguay - 148/79
Panama - 149/81
Argentina - 151/83
Ecuador - 157/85
Suriname - 171/94
Honduras - 173/120
Mexico - 174/93
Paraguay - 178/96
Brazil - 197/97
Venezuela - 198/88
Nicaragua - 200/116
Guatemala - 236/126
Bolivia - 247/172
El Salvador - 290/136
Guyana - 377/256

French Guyana did not show up in the database.

Anyway, many of us already know that Canada is safer than the USA but what I wasn't expecting was for USA to rank 5th with male mortality rates and 4th for female. So yeah, if someone from the US were to move to Chile or Costa Rica, it would improve their chances of surviving into old age. Canada sits among Scandinavia in this regard. In fact, Canada's mortality rate is lower than Denmark's (100/60).

A pat on the back goes to Canada!
Sitting among Scandinavia isn't something to scoff at, you know.
