The urban-rural death divide is getting alarmingly wider for working-age Americans

The cause is unclear, but poverty and worsening health care access are likely factors.

@arstechnica In the second time period (2017-2019), Roe has not yet been overturned. It’s going to be worse now.

“Breaking causes down by gender, rural working-age women saw a 313-percent increase in mortality from pregnancy-related conditions between the study's two time periods, the largest increase of the mortality causes.”

@arstechnica this is what rural America keeps voting for.

@arstechnica wow "Breaking causes down by gender, rural working-age women saw a 313-percent increase in mortality from pregnancy-related conditions between the study's two time periods, the largest increase of the mortality causes". In most rural states abortion is highly restricted and obgyn flight is common as well as the shunting of rural hospitals to "keep taxes low". Couple that with health related misinformation and this is shocking but not surprising.
