The real difference is most of these categories they rate is ,as the first article says-minimal-in the top 15 or 20 developed countries..it's not necessarily a consequence of us being-or doing things "worse"-it's more an indication perhaps of a few doing things slightly better than they were...
Jim- It's in the second article right after the forth paragraph....8-)
