America's healthcare upheaval: Will it get better?

In New York state, it's all go. Two weeks before launch a call center in Albany, the capital, buzzed with workers answering questions on Obamacare. An instructor in an adjacent room trained new employees in the strange language of health-care acronyms (HIPAA, ACA, PHI, IAP and so on). New York, led by a Democratic governor, Andrew Cuomo, has implemented the president's health-care plan with gusto.
