The sad irony of our health choices

What kind of country do we live in?

Your July 14 front page headline: "County cuts funds for poor moms, babies."

Back page headline: "Finally, the twins are here."

Hmmmm, Brangelina's twins were born "in the best conditions" on the French Riviera while Cook County leaders stop funding to keep poor pregnant women and their babies healthy.

Was the pairing of these articles intentional? Did anyone notice?
