Most of them voted for Biden so no great loss.

Maternal deaths across the U.S. more than doubled over the course of two decades, and the tragedy unfolded unequally.

Black mothers died at the nation’s highest rates, while the largest
increases in deaths were found in American Indian and Native Alaskan
mothers. And some states — and racial or ethnic groups within them – fared worse than others.

The findings were laid out in a new study published Monday in the Journal
of the American Medical Association. Researchers looked at maternal deaths between 1999 and 2019 — but not the pandemic spike — for every state and
five racial and ethnic groups.

“It’s a call to action to all of us to understand the root causes — to understand that some of it is about health care and access to health care,
but a lot of it is about structural racism and the policies and procedures
and things that we have in place that may keep people from being healthy,”
said Dr. Allison Bryant, one of the study's authors and a senior medical director for health equity at Mass General Brigham.

Among wealthy nations, the U.S. has the highest rate of maternal
mortality, which is defined as a death during pregnancy or up to a year afterward. Common causes include excessive bleeding, infection, heart
disease, suicide and drug overdose.
