50% more mothers die here than in the second worst country in the developed world.
How is that possible?
The answer is it happens.
And it's because the inequality is so extreme in the medical system that if you don't have lots of money, you're quite likely to die in childbirth.
I mean, of course, the numbers are not huge.
20 out of 100,000 is not.
But it's a terrible contrast.
It's a sign of something.
It's a sign of whether people are... It's a sign of the social contract.
So where's a good place to live then, if not here?
Denmark, Japan.
even France, Germany.
The UK has a little bit of the American disease, but not nearly as much.
Yeah, I would say that's a perfectly reasonable thing to consider.
And where are you going and why?
if they'll have you.
No, in the things that really matter, life expectancy, health, safety nets, murder rates, mortality rates, in everything that really matters, yes, they're day and night better.
In the things that don't really matter but look really splashy, we have enormous quantities of wealth created that go to a relatively small fraction of the people.
And that dazzles in terms of the average because that's how the numbers work.
If you look at how well off the bottom quartile are, America doesn't score well at all.
