...comrade's room reeks of the past. Above the desk hangs a portrait of Lenin, a treasured gift from Leonid Brezhnev. On another wall is a tapestry of Karl Marx, a present from fallen East German leader Erich Honecker.

They overflow the available chairs and sprawl awkwardly on the floor. They come for prenatal checkups, gynecological care and, finally, to deliver their young. Last year more than 18,000 babies were born in this building, roughly 1 out of every 200 babies born in the U.S. "Sometimes they are lined up in the hallways and stacked up for C-sections like planes at LAX, six or seven deep," says obstetrician-gynecologist David Grimes...
