We're #1, we're #1............in maternal mortality rates

[islandman]

According to a new report published by the Commonwealth Fund, Maternal Mortality and Maternity Care in the U.S. Compared to 10 Other Developed Countries, among high-income countries, the United States has the highest maternal mortality rates. In fact, a woman giving birth in the U.S. is about 10 times more likely to die than a woman giving birth in New Zealand (17.4 and 1.7 deaths per 100,000 live births, respectively).

America has a large military. That's about it. Everything else about it is pretty much 3rd world.

Does this pass as intelligent conversation with the people you hang out with? This is among the stupidest comments I've read here.

You say that a lot. Yet...here you are. Drawn like a moth to a light. Incapable of having a conversation to dispute the statement. Only capable of tossing out insults. Sounds kinda like an impeached, one-term president I know. Fascist traitors support Fascist traitors.

Do you not read your own posts?

The other vaunted countries count differently than we do.
You need to do your homework before running with sensational claims.

Ever driven on a third-world interstate or had to visit a third-world medical facility?
For that matter, have you ever owned a third-world car or frequented a third-world grocery?
And how about those third-world water and sewage systems?
I could go on, but that would be belaboring the point made.

Yes, I have been to Flint.

That is not an answer to any of those questions.
An outlier does not represent the whole.
You can find resorts that cater to the rest of the world in many third-world countries. That does not put those countries on the same level as Flint. But then, you have to know that.

I have been to West Virginia...or Kentucky...shall I go on?

Even with Trump out of office, you want to insist that the US is no better than a third-world country? To me, that sort of opinion strains credulity. I've been to Kentucky, it is most certainly not anywhere near being a third-world country. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that WV is probably not either.

Where have I said that? I simply pointed out Flint is not an outlier. Did that point go over your head Timmy?

 

[Dribble]

The point Timmy doesn't want to argue about...

Is it OK we have a birth mortality an order of magnitude worse than other countries? Is is OK to have a covid mortality that is 5x that of the Vietnam War? That is almost 2x of that of the Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan and WW1 combined?
