...focuses on uninsured children and families. Amid the grim statistics, the foundation mentions a bright spot: the fact that recent expansion of children's health-care programs has helped lower the number of uninsured children. The notion that young people should have access to adequate health care has long drawn bipartisan political support; reaching that same goal with adults has, until now, proven far more difficult to accomplish...
...that many Whitopias offer a high quality of life and tend to perform well on those "Best Places to Live" lists that run in magazines. Do you think people are also drawn to these places specifically for their whiteness?

...young, untested companies get such generous taxpayer funding? Promising technology certainly counts, but it also pays to have potent political allies. Tesla, founded by the boyish 37-year-old Elon Musk, who made a fortune creating and then selling PayPal to eBay, has drawn support from California environmentalists and political figures such as Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Barbara Boxer, both California Democrats, while Fisker's owners include Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, one of Silicon Valley's most successful venture-capital firms, whose partners include former Vice President Al Gore. "This investment will create thousands of new American jobs...
