And the Arkansas House reversed itself and passed their OK of their expansion approach after all (www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/16/arkansas-medicaid-expansion_n_3093189.html) - perhaps all is not lost on the expansion front.

Stefan Williams comments on And You Thought Health Care Was Bad

It is really a matter of concern that both our education system and health care system are lagging behind than other countries. These two are the most important system for any country's growth and determines its growth factor. We can not neglect any of the system as both are important. There is no particular answer to the question that which system will reform best but we need reform in both the sectors.

Health sector was good earlier. Now there has been a change. Changes in the policies the dedication of the doctors. What the major change is the dedication of the doctors which was earlier an important thing has now come under the hands of insurers. So i think if there wouldn't be a change now then after implementation of the major Obama care there will be a problem in the major reforms.
