Since the realization of Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, States like Kentucky or Arkansas performed the impressive drop in number of residents without health insurance coverage. However, the worst figures reach up to nearly 25% in Taxes followed by 21,5% in Mississippi and 20,% in Louisiana. This huge gap widely debates and creates public hostility against PPACA.
