This is the worst timeline

This woman had access to 2 health insurance plans, and had neither. The article doesn’t give any details why she didn’t have health insurance.

She qualified for Texas Chip, her husband was Army Reserve Soldier and could have put her on Tricare Reserve Select.

The reports and news articles about this situation are not answering that question or investigating through official sources why this woman’s Chip application was never processed so she could get prenatal care. Of course she should have had Tricare Reserve Select, but everyone says it’s shameful to ask why her husband didn’t put her (and his unborn baby girl) on Tricare. He is completely absolved of any responsibility for his wife and unborn daughter.

In other words this story highlights the faults of our system. If those things were easily available why didn’t she have them? She is likely not the only one missing out. Why is it so complicated? One universal. system would be better.

I agree! Nobody is pushing for it and Americans are dying at high rates, are in poor health because of it. Biden did not even campaign on it and only a fringe group (Jayapal, Bernie...) brought up a proposal likely to go nowhere.

You’re right. Republicans have consistently rejected increasing access to healthcare and universal insurance. Trump has even promised to get rid of the ACA, which several of my relatives rely on.

It is a small number of women and with good medical care this can be managed, so no need to be more stressed or anxious. But know your risk and make sure you go regularly to your OB appointments.

By a squeaker, not by some huge gulf.

And yeah cons’ feelings about abortion and the attending contempt for women are at the heart of maternal mortality. You guys do not think women are people (and I won’t even commit to writing down what you clearly think of non White women).

This whole thread has been a festival of forced birthers and their crap politics. “Nuh uh, ‘taint muh fault she died or any other woman might! It’s naught tuh do with me. Here’s why it’s her fault and his fault and the fault of the Democrats!…” You guys are the thought equivalent of an older sibling beating the dish out of a sibling and saying “stop hitting yourself.”

In addition to DC, the top five states with the highest severe maternal morbidity rates were California, Nevada, New Jersey, and New York, while Maryland, Rhode Island, Nebraska, and New Hampshire joined Utah as the states with the lowest rates.

You read the chart wrong. The worst states for maternal mortality are Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama and Louisiana. Then Kentucky, Georgia, South Carolina and Arizona.

Where You Live Determines Risk of Severe Pregnancy, Postpartum Complications
A new study found that Washington, DC had the highest rate of severe maternal morbidity in the country—nearly three times as high as Utah, the state with the lowest rate.

https://www.bu.edu/sph/news/articles/2023/where-you-live-determines-risk-of-severe-pregnancy-postpartum-complications/

Published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology, the study examined maternal health outcomes among Medicaid insurance recipients and found that rates of severe maternal morbidity (SMM), or “near miss” deaths, varied substantially by state and by race/ethnicity.

Across the country, SMM rates were highest in Washington, DC, at 200 cases per 10,000 live births—nearly three times as high as Utah, the state with the lowest SMM rate, at 80 cases per 10,000 live births

No, it’s a different study. Severe Maternal Morbidity, DC- a liberal utopia- has the highest rates.

No, we joined the union. We were actually a country before that - the Republic of Texas.

K. Now do the rest of the states that kill their mothers. Where are they. What are their politics like? DC can’t even rule itself, mostly because Republicans know that it would vote liberal. We can smash the Dakotas back into one state and give DC statehood and then we’ll talk.

Literally no one but Texans care. This country had dozens of nations across it.

DC is #1 in killing their mothers via Severe Maternal Morbidity.
