The reason I brought up rural specifically is because a lot of people in the US live hours away from the nearest hospital - of course unpredictable things like childbirth will not go as well if you don't have access to a hospital.
- pchristensen 4y agoUSA isn't particularly rural - https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/most-urbanized-countries https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/most-urba... More urbanized than France, Spain, Canada, Taiwan, Switzerland, Italy, etc.
- tzs 4y agoLooking at a few maps, it looks like the average distance from rural places to the nearest urban place is smaller in most of those countries than it is in the US. They may have a higher percentage of their populations in rural areas, but the US may have a higher percentage of its population far away from urban medical care.
