IIRC there are vast differences between the states. My recollection is that there is a very strong red state/blue state correlation, which is absolutely shocking (/s, obviously).

The Biden admin allowing the absolute destruction of abortion laws in the US isn't going to help improve this number either
The Biden ~~admin~~ regime
Not surprised, when most places find out you're pregnant they either try to fire you or reduce your hours so that you're all but fired on paper. If you're stressed and lose the good medical access a job provides (will probably have a baby in arm by the time you get approved for medicaid or similar such programs, then good luck seeing medical professionals in time) its not a good outcome.
Wow I'm sure glad that the for-profit healthcare here means we get the highest quality healthcare in the world :-) That's why we pay exorbitant prices for it :-)
Best health care in the world, I’ve heard. /s
The US counts this differently, when you account for this US maternal mortality rates are similar to other western countries. By counting more the US hopes to find and then correct issues that other counties are ignoring.
That's interesting, do you happen to have a source? I'm coming up empty.
The article specifies that “researchers found that in 2022, 22.3 US women per 100,000 died either during pregnancy or within a year of giving birth” so I’m not really sure what the first response is on about “counts mortality differently” 🙄
What they're on about is exactly the part you quoted - the US counts deaths that occur an entire year after birth, while the UK only counts 42 days. https://www.npeu.ox.ac.uk/mbrrace-uk/data-brief/maternal-mortality-2020-2022
Postpartum generally lasts at least 8wks so it seems someone isn’t account for science
I've also never heard about people paying the cost (partially) themselves, except in the US.
