The average in the US are heavily affected by obese African American women with diabetes lacking a highschool education.

It's a societal issue more than a healthcare issue.

The mortality rate is still 10x higher for white women in the US than the average in western europe.

There's lies, damned lies, and statistics. You need to interpret these stats.

America is a very broad place with a lot of different types of people. We have millions of people that refuse to accept medicine due to religious reasons. Similar to beliefs around birthing children. There are more weirdo's here than anywhere else. This works in America's favor in many ways but is negative in many ways too.

If you're a normal person you don't have to worry. Subtract the weirdo's from the datasets and outcomes are fantastic. The same thing with all these other health and life expectancy numbers. If you're normal, avoid obesity, don't smoke or do drugs and avoid a variety of high risk behaviors, and visit your doctor then you're likely to live a long life.

I'm not sure if it occurs to you, but exactly the same statement applies to every country on earth.

"If you ignore the really bad cases, the average is fine".

Australia accepts more immigrants per capita than any other country on earth - so it's extremely diverse, and remote. Why are the health outcomes in Australia AT LEAST 10x better than the US?

Nah you’re blinded by the stats again. Americans are wildly different than everywhere else and far more diverse. Americans distrust of and hostility towards authority is unparalleled.

The number of kids with no vaccines has quadrupled since 2000 in America and millions of people, either through religion or otherwise refuse medical services. This is completely unlike other western countries. Australia’s diversity is nothing like America and nowhere like the scale. I’ve spent considerable time in both countries and Australia is nothing like America and it’s basically a mono-culture.

On top of that Americans have a lot of other issues like higher rates of obesity and drug use. It’s cultural here and it’s a lot of people. Way more by percentage than other western countries.

An Australian living like an Australian will generally have better health outcomes in America than back home.

I'd expect the outcomes in hospitals to be about the same. It's just that Americans avoid those for obvious reasons.

I highly recommend that you or your partner give birth surrounded by professionals, as well as getting check-ups done before - even if those professionals are expensive.

This not only includes childbirth, but also up to 42 days after childbirth. This site below goes into the breakdown and the leading causes of death surrounding prenatal, birth, and postpartum deaths in the US. Obesity and heart disease rears its ugly head again sadly along with access to healthcare.

Then there is some work regarding opioid use and death through pregnancy and postpartum periods that account more quite a bit as well sadly. https://healthcare.utah.edu/press-releases/2019/05/opioids-l...
