        Heartrending, yes, but doesn't really explain why US maternal mortality is increasing. Outmoded hospital practices can't be the root of it.

        Not adopting newer hospital practices could account for non-improvement, but not *worsening* maternal mortality. Think: social determinants

        Can't agree. Medical advances have let women and babies come a long way. Shouldn't throw out baby with bath water, pun intended.

        There are not enough midwives. Doctors lead birth in the USA and that is a design flaw. U.K. spends far less for better outcomes. #midwifery

        “The U.S. has no comparable federal effort [to the British system].” Another casualty of our market-based medical care?

        No, our federalism. I used to review Maternal Mortality for my state. There is a CDC program but no teeth. Single-Payer would help.

        A fair amount of healthcare data comes from billing. Single payer means one set of data for all.

        I was nearly one such case- preeclampsia and CHF after delivering full-term twins at one of the best hospitals in MA. Grateful for my life.

        This is unbelievable. U.S. spends more on healthcare per capita than all developed nations, and a lot of Americans get 3rd world service.
