Some parts seem to be borderline. States have infant mortality rates on par with Thailand, Romania and Fiji. Others have life expectancy on par with Brazil, The Lebanon and Sri Lanka. Transparency International rates the corruption index of the USA only slightly higher than Uruguay (no breakdown by state unfortunately, and still quite high overall in developed world to be fair).
Obviously America is a huge place and one size does not fit all, but there are some rural areas that wouldn't seem out of place in a third world country for sure.
- stevenwoo 9y agoThe state of Texas has a poor country's maternal health outcome on average. From 2016, and bound to be worse now as the 2017 legislative session seemed to concentrate on transgender bathroom laws/laws against urban areas having their own laws. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2016/09/10/texas-maternal-mortality-rate/90115960/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2016/09/10/texas-...
- KekDemaga 9y ago>States have infant mortality rates on par with Thailand, Romania and Fiji The reason for this is we are more liberal in what we define as an infant as compared to a fetus.
