OK thats all fine, this kind of discrepancies/errors happen all the time in statistics. You for some reason completely avoid massive discrepancy between 0 and what US reports. The fact that its slowly falling from relative stratospheric heights gives no comfort to common US citizens, when clearly it can be done much, much better.

I think we all know most probably the main reason - US healthcare is a business with huge prices compared to anywhere else in the world including nations with higher salaries, not public service. So its all nice and top notch if you have millions in some form, not if you are remaining 95% of the country. General compassion to fellow citizens in need is not a strong point of US in general, is it.

People like me could move literally anywhere in the world if wanted. I moved to Switzerland from my crappy home country for example. But hell will freeze sooner than I would want to raise my kids or get old in US, no thank you for many reasons and this being one of biggest.

That's not what the article is tackling. Rather, it's quite literally about what types of deaths get categorized as "maternal mortality."
