Who needs healthcare reform? Texas leads the pack!

Overwhelmingly Texas seems to be the state that is MOST in need of healthcare reform. Massachussetts is the state that needs it the least.

Texas should be at the forefront of healthcare reform with Florida coming in second. Massachussetts already has its own excellent healthcare system and Pennsylvania doesn't seem to be doing so badly, but most of the rest of us really need healthcare reform.
