Kansas Faces Medicaid Expansion Dilemma Under ACA Ideals
Kansas lawmakers and Gov. Brownback weigh expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. Studies project 226000 Kansans would gain coverage, with state costs around 616 million over baseline, while federal funds could bring 2.2 billion in matching funds and create 3,500 to 4,000 jobs plus 112 million in state tax revenue over seven years. The Kansas Hospital Association notes net state gain of about 82 million if expansions proceed, contrasting with opponents who fear long-term costs and higher indigent care burdens if funds are refused.

Brazil must boost high tech exports to diversify economy
Andres Oppenheimer notes Brazil's export mix shifted toward commodities and China reliant growth. High tech exports fell from 10.4 percent of total in 2000 to 5 percent in 2010 while commodity exports rose to 63 percent, with overvalued currency and bureaucracy hurting efficiency. Some economists foresee a rebound but warn that Brazil must embrace free trade and reduce reliance on domestic demand to avoid stagnation. Brazil seeks anti corruption strides and education reforms under Rousseff.
