The US health disaster: US maternity death rate is 4-6 times that of all developed countries. US ranks with Russia & Ukraine. (Bloomberg)
The introduction of decent health care for all should be a leading issue in the US election campaign.
"American Mothers Are Dying Because of the U.S. Health Care System
The U.S. has an inexcusably high maternal mortality rate."
bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
Causes of the extreme & rising US maternal fatalities:
Ever later births (same elsewhere);
Increasing obesity (special US problem);
Limited access to health care (special US problem);
Religious obscurantism (special US problem);
Stove-piped care (special US problem).
Sad.
