That will take a minimum of five years, and years of testing must follow. "There is a very high probability of success," says May, "but you don't cheer until you see the baby...
...whether they wanted any part of the plan. It also left it to the states to decide which of their citizens should be classed as indigent or medically indigent and entitled to benefits. If a state wanted to tap the U.S. Treasury, it had to provide coverage for a minimum of five essential services-in-patient and out-patient hospital care, doctors' care, X rays, lab tests and nursing-home benefits.
