It IS caused by lack of access to the system, which IS the system. That's the argument the author made, which you choose to ignore.

This hasn't been shown to be the case AT ALL.

Had the author laid some groundwork to show that there is some causal relationship, the article would have been different. He didn't.

Or to put it another way, our policy failures in Iraq may be killing Americans at a rate of about 800 a year, but our health care failures at home are resulting in incomparably more deaths - of infants.

Our health care failures are resulting in more deaths? How does he make THIS leap? How does he know the higher incidence of crack adddiction isn't the problem? Or any of 10,000 OTHER factors? He doesn't.

Bolstering public health isn't as dramatic as spending $300 million for a single F/A-22 Raptor fighter jet, but it can be a far more efficient way of protecting Americans.

The usual liberal solution to all problems: Take money out of the military budget and spend it on giving away healthcare -- even if we're giving it to people who don't want it and won't avail themselves of it if it is offered.

True, infant mortality and many other American health problems are largely intertwined with poverty, and experience suggests that neither the left nor the right has easy solutions for intractable poverty.

Actually, the Right (Newt Gingrich) proposed a solution that has been successful. It is called "WORKING".

The bottom line is that the article is totally irresponsible and flawed in its logic. And you allowed this guy to shove it down your throat just like liberals everywhere.

You have a mind. How about using it, for a change? Any thinking person can see this fool is jumping to conclusions without the slightest basis whatsoever.
