The section does seem to be biased towards negative information, but I don't think there's anything in there that shouldn't be.  All of it is relevant, notable and accurate as to the US health situation, as far as I can tell.  What I think it could do better is illuminate the leading role America has in many health fields, pharmaceuticals and so on.  I disagree entirely that other countries shouldn't be compared - raw data means nothing without a point to compare it with, and it is silly to compare the US to third world countries with third world health systems (I'm not sure why you threw the UK in there, indeed a comparison to Western Europe is made and adding further data comparing the healths of the two countries wouldn't be that flattering to the US, in my opinion).
