But... But... But... All of these people are supposed to be victims! There's no health-care for the majority of Americans!!!!!

What THIS proves is that there IS health-care for virtually ALL Americans - and MANY Americans don't pay one danged penny for their health-care!

Pretty blamed good deal, if you ask me!

New York City Birth Rate Plunges - December 21, 2006 - The New York Sun
Hmm.. am I missing the New York Times article? All I see in your post is a New York Sun article, and it doesn't have the 52% statistic you mention, just stuff about how the birth rate is down.
