The USA AFAIK is the only western country without a strong public healthcare system.
It typically costs Americans twice as much as other OECD countries for worse outcomes.

It a complex problem, but if you had to identify major causes, your complex private insurance system creates layers of inefficiency other countries don't have to bear.
Oracle probably has a HUGE cash cow in running these insurance databases and I can guarantee they will be in lockstep with insurers in lobbying for no change in the US healthcare system.

Road Death Rates compared per 100k people

Japan 2.5
UK 2.9
Australia 4.1
USA 12.9
Pakistan 13

BUT... if you look at deaths per KMs driven, the USA is still worse, but the intra country number become more similar.

Thus, because the USA has such crap public transport (because of cha ching, Ford, GM), you have to drive a lot more than most other developed countries thus suffer more deaths.
Living in Australia and having visited the USA, my observations for the east coast at least.
- Lots of stupidly big cars/ truck cars
- Lots of selfish drivers around LA that think it's their right to speed and push into queues (In fact no speed cameras in LA to control behavior)
- Lots of modified vehicles that would be illegal in my country
- 4 way stops instead of roundabouts

Ulimatly wokeness is a perverted form of Marxism that attempts to divide people into groups, where one group is the oppressor and the the oppressed. In the current form of this left wing nonsense, all white people are oppressors and no criticism is allowed of any non white group.
Men are women, women are men, children can mutilated in the name of diversity, you can be arrested in the Ireland for misgendering. It’s become a crazy clown world!
