I have a clinical colleague who worked in the US for a few years. I think their description of US healthcare is best summarized as follows. Has the potential to be the greatest on Earth. In reality, the quality of care provided is far below European standards. She was mortified to discover that diabetics routinely had below knee amputations whereas in the rest of the world, with the exact same clinical picture, care would be provided to prevent worsening of diabetic foot.
for type 2 is lack of nutrional education, proper managment as well. because it so expensive, plus you have things like insurance making you pay into your preniums before they fully cover any medical care. mortality for women in pregnancies seems to be worst, and AA people have the worst rates.

Not American here. AA?
Likely “African American” in this context.
Horrifyingly, this seems far worse than as described at a point at only 8-years ago.
