No, you are being untrurhful again.
So, when you claim that 90% of americans have health care coverage,
that does not mean that they have adequate and reasonable health care coverage.
What does it mean then? What health care coverage is it the 90% are guaranteed?
Well that 90% surely doesn't have the Cadillac Plan bottie brags he has....

Good response, based on actually reading the post rather than sliming the author. Coulter seems to be saying that the US poor infant mortality is based on intractably sick blacks, and a high degree of teenage and underweight pregnancies. I am sure the part about underweight babies is true since that is the primary casue of infant mortality. But what is striking in Coulter's article is her acceptance of these facts. Black infant mortality, poverty births, underweight teenage babies, etc.. these are seen
as merely facts, not problems in the medical system. So therefore, why reform the medical system towards prevention of these problems when we do so much better, and more profitably, at rescueing these at risk fetuses..
That is the point, they are not problems in the healthcare system... you've got it...

The only thing you have understood is, that these are not problems for
well off white people.
That's both racist and ignorant... you've defined quite the little magic quadrant for yourself.....
OTB
That complacently racist assumption of hers and yours is definitely arguable, but it's irrelevant to the issue. They are problems other countries have fixed. And any country with means should be ashamed of.
She might have a point if Canada, Britain, and France didn't have a sizable minority population, but they do and the differences still exist, therefore her explanation is total BS.
Is this report racist: http://www.nola.com/health/index.ssf/2009/08/black_infant_mortality_draws_m.html
or this one: http://www.prb.org/Articles/2007/ColorDivideinInfantMortality.aspx

You're confusing reporting of the facts with racism...... odd.

If you talking to me, not so. These report are fine, but only talk about the the US in isolation. Does the same apply to other countries with similar populations? If so, then it's not the population that is causing the problem, but the system.
As for racism, I'm not sure. I think AC, when pushed, will lash out with the some of the most outrageous comments just to say something. I don't think she's racist, just blindly dumb.
She's neither dumb or racist, but she does say things just to get people riled up.... but I like that.

the thing about Coulter or Sean Hannerty or Michael Moore is that they are just preaching to their respective choirs. I doubt any one of them actually care to research, or to look at both sides of the debate but instead make cheap, partisan comments for the entertainment of their audiences. They are entertainers of the lowest form who make their millions while fanning the flames of intolerance and divisiveness
There's not intelligent/knowledgeable DUMB and then there's stupidly DUMB. she's exhibited the later many times. Remember her Canada's sending combat forces to Viet Nam claim. Pretty dumb for an intelligent person.
Yes, he slipped, name one of us who hasn't the Bushism are famous, but she argued the point for the better part of 3 minutes and challenged the reporter to check his facts; kinda different.
Is it possible that there is a correlation between the problems she points out and access to health care. The demographic she writes about is the group with the least access to health-care. Hence the problem she describes. Might improved access improve the mortality rates in that demographic?
Did you read the above articles?
Why is it Hispanics (not the wealthiest Americans) have even lower rates than Whites in the US..... better access to healthcare?
You guys are far to invested in the cause / effect of health outcomes in the US and the health care system.
Worth noting, 25% of blacks live in poverty, those who are poor are given free healthcare (medicaid) yet infant mortality is 2X the White/Hispanic rate..... I don't think it's the healthcare system.
