Greece has a older population. Plus we're talking about Mississippi not the entire US.

Yes but you didn't mention life expectancy, you chose maternal mortality then generalized that to "because Greece's maternal mortality is lower than Mississippi, Greeks are healthier." That was my point.

In no universe does a few ultra wealthy people in Mississippi make it a better place to live than half of Europe, which is what I was originally responding to.

That's all per capita GDP means.

Not like maternal mortality is only slightly higher in MS, it's drastically worse to the point where you can argue the healthcare standards are closer to that of a developing country.

Can you find a single health metric which would point to people in Mississippi doing better than those in Greece ?
