Who Knew Singapore Was So Healthy?

A friend sent me an interesting chart that shows countries and their populations plotted against health and income. Note the numbers are logarithmic.

I've seen charts like this before and the numbers don't seem to have changed to much over the decades, except for an occasional state that changed its ways. Though whenever I see these kinds of things, I always wonder if the states' stats from authoritarian regimes can be considered authoritative.

Or that Cuba was a "middle" income country?

US does less well in terms of infant mortality because we 'count' less than 30 week premies that we resuscitate. (We are usually successful but it definitely messes with our numbers.)

Cuba was richer than most Central and South American countries before Castro took over. When they've had tough times recently, they've resorted to capitalist measures to up their income.
