In Texarkana, a unique divide was created by the state line, resulting in stark differences in healthcare access for the poor. On the Arkansas side, residents gained access to Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, significantly improving their healthcare options. However, those living just across the border in Texas remained uninsured, facing substantial barriers to necessary medical services due to the state's decision not to expand Medicaid.
