That trend makes some sense: Once you get health insurance, it might take a while before you start getting health care, and even longer before you’ll start getting healthier (optimistically assuming that you do). It will take more time, and more research, to be sure whether the Affordable Care Act really is making Americans healthier and more secure. PhotoObamacare has provided health insurance to some 20 million people. People who got health insurance in that experiment were also more financially secure. There are many differences between Texas, Arkansas and Kentucky, besides their decisions on this part of the Affordable Care Act.
