We have the best health care system in the world. The last thing we need is for the government to take it over and run it

Why not tell the entire story?

Premature Births Increase in U.S.

According to health care experts, there is no simple explanation for the increase in U.S. infant mortality.

"But there are a number of factors that could contribute," said Dr. William A. Engle, neonatologist with the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis.

"The number of babies born pre-term has increased in general, and pre-term populations are at a higher risk for morbidity and mortality," Engle said.

Births of two or more babies are often associated with prematurity, and, Engle said, "the number of multiple births has increased." Some of these multiple births are the result of fertility drugs and in-vitro fertilization procedures.

Engle explained that while a normal, healthy gestation period is 40 weeks, because of the increased number of pre-term deliveries, the gestation period in the United States now averages just 39 weeks. "The 34- to 37-week gestation group has increased over the last 10 years," he said. "There are fewer births after 40 weeks than there were even a few years ago."



African-American Rates Alarmingly High

Within the United States, there are important differences in the infant mortality rates between racial groups and across geographic boundaries.

"Infant mortality rates tends to trend with socio-economic status," said Dr. Nancy Green, medical director for the March of Dimes. "African-Americans have much, much higher rates of infant mortality than other groups."

The rate among African-Americans is nearly double that of the general population: 13.9 versus 7.0. Rates among some other ethnic minorities also tend to be higher: the infant mortality rate among Puerto Ricans is 8.2, and for Native Americans, the rate is 9.1.

"Some of that is due to poverty but it doesn't track perfectly with poverty," said Green. The infant mortality rate among Central and South American immigrants, for example, is only 5.1.

Infant mortality rates also vary from state to state. "The states in the Southeast tend to have higher infant mortality rates than others," said Green. Most of the Southeast has rates exceeding 7.5, while most West Coast and Northeast states have rates below 6.2.

I wonder if the number includes illegals? Like the uninsured number does

[retiredman]

so what? premature births don't happen anywhere else?

[waterrescuedude2000]

I see alzheimer's disease must be setting in on you. i have told you many times, the main issues that mean the most to me, Rudy is my guy

Taxes

War on Terror

Judges

Secure the borders

See for all of those I would love to see either Tancredo or Hunter one as president and one as vice president.

I believe Tancredo has the best stances on all of the above. His tax plan seems pretty interesting. Hunter however has promised to finish the border fence in 6 months if he is elected. He has vowed to hire multiple contractors to build it then they all meet in the middle type of a deal.

Because part of our population is from undeveloped countries. The black infant mortality rate is high wherever blacks are found, be it Africa or Atlanta.

what portion of our black population is not native born? are you suggesting that it is those folks who drive us that far down the list?

LOL

It is looking good for Rudy, and I do believe he is the best chance we have to defeat Hillary

I do not believe Amercia wants a crook like Hillary AND a Dem Congress running America and overseeing our national defense

You push Giuliani all you want rsr. It's a free country. But don't expect me to vote for the sum bitch. He's a damn liberal, period, and the prediction is that up to 33% of the TRUE CONSERVATIVES of the Republican party feel the same as I do, and they won't vote for him either. Seems to me that Giuliani on the Republican ticket is a sure damn way to LOSE.

[theHawk]

Stop trying to ram Rudy down our throats. We get enough of that crap in the MSM.

If it caomes down to Rudy VS Hillary, I believe alot of Republicans will vote for Rudy

The prospects of Hillary and a Reid and Pelosi Congress running America will make them do so

[nevadamedic]

Jews like Kudlow want Rudy because he's owned by Israel. I don't want more of Bush, personally. I'd rather see America come first for a change.

Maybe you can get your mentor David Duke to make a failed run for President again?

He would fit in great in Berlin during the 1930's

If it comes down to Giuliani vs Clinton, I won't vote for either, and that's my point, neither will many other true conservatives. Rudy is a liberal, and I won't vote for liberal. Under any circumstances.

So if Clinton were to win because of that situation, I would hope that would be a learning lesson to the Republicans, "DON'T PUSH LIBERALS AT US AND EXPECT US TO VOTE FOR THEM."

That is your right of course

However consider what Hillary and the libs want

To raise taxes by over $1 trillion, open the flood gates to illeagals and give them cradle to grave handouts, surrender and appease to terrorists, government run health care, liberal Judges who ignore the US Constitution, and removing all references of God from the public view

Is Rudy my perfect candidate? No

Do I disagree with him of some issues? Yes

But he is the best chance we have of stopping Hillary from taking over and turning America in a secular-progressive socialist country with a bullseye on it so the terrorists can take better aim
