Life expectancy in Costa Rica has risen to surpass those living in the United States. Mortality rates in the United States are 18% higher than in Costa Rica. Recognizing factors that influence mortality is critical so that policy changes can be made in the United States. Factors to examine in Costa Rica include the healthcare system, access to care, how early pre-natal delivery impacts life and mandatory maternity leave and the impact on child development.
