    we pay 2-4times as much as the next country, plus we have worst heatlh outcomes in terms of mortality and morbidity even under an insurance. oh but we can pay 800+bn to fund defense contractors and ISRAEL own healthcare and military, soon to be 1.5trillion in defense budget because trump think this is a better distraction. oh and a nice fact, the military and thier family also has accessed to subsidized insurance, aka tricare.

    also healthcare for new mothers is pretty pisspoor, in both prenatal and post natal births. POC, and black people gets the worst outcomes(morbidity and mortality) over white mothers.

      Do you know of any data about outcomes specifically for Americans with insurance? People without any coverage avoid getting care and that of course leads to terrible outcomes. I’m wondering how much that is factored in. It’s terrible either way: a healthcare system that leaves people out is not a healthcare system.
