    I believe that is up to the states to do that but still, it proves that MORE, not less, regulation is the solution.

    You certainly have the freedom to go outside Obamacare to buy insurance if you think Obamacare is such a ripoff. Let us know how it works for you.

    Your Maternal death rate, always an accurate indicator of societal health nearly doubled from 1990 to 2010

    Well probably because that scheme is not what Obama wanted but it is what he had to settle for

    Don't worry Trumps magic wand will fix everything

    Not impressed. How do you know that isn't the result of Life-Style? You know, older women out of child-bearing age trying to have children?

    Australia would have the same demographic of older women having children and our Maternal mortality rate is one third of yours - and that includes the fact we have a very isolated rural and remote population that have high risk

    Costs have greatly accelerated since obamacare, deductibles have increased, providers have decreased.

    And obamacare has insured 20,000,000 additional people - but before obamacare they claimed there were 45,000,000 uninsured, obviously obamacare is a great big FAIL.

    And how many of those 20,000,000 HAD insurance which was canceled because of obamacare? obamacare FAIL.

    The demographics between Australia and the US are dissimilar:

    Another analysis this month looked at increases by state and found particularly high rates in the District of Columbia, New Jersey, Georgia and Arkansas, especially among black women. (The absolute rate can vary by data set, but the upward trend has been clear.)

    Instead, the increase in recent years has been driven by heart problems and other chronic medical conditions, like diabetes, which has increased sharply in the population. Researchers have theorized that an increase in obesity — particularly acute among poor black women, who have much higher rates of maternal mortality than whites — may be contributing to the problem.

    Like I said, it's Life-Style.
