Ranking America 
This is interesting to see laid out on a chart! Health, education and income are so interconnected in our development that I feel like this should give us a pretty good gauge as to how we are progressing compared to other countries. I wonder what Norway is doing that we aren’t?
US is not tied for 3rd. US is tied for 7th-8th according to the chart.
This particular chart has the highest ranked country on the bottom.
