Iowa Is The 2nd Best State For Health Care
Recently, WalletHub put out its findings for 2023's Best and Worst States for Health Care. To find out which states offer better health care than others, WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across three key dimensions and evaluated those dimensions using 44 relevant metrics. Below are those three dimensions
- Cost
- Access
- Outcomes
Finally, WalletHub calculated each state and the District’s overall score to rank them from the best to worst.
WalletHub found that Iowa is 2nd best state for Health Care. Topping the list (home of the Mayo Clinic) is Minnesota. The state with the worst health care this year is West Virginia. Illinois was toward the bottom at #36.
The study revealed that Iowa tanked 11th in Hospital Beds per Capita, 7th in the percentage of Insured Adults, and 8th in the percentage of Insured Children. Unfortunately, Iowa ranked 50th in cancer rate meaning Iowa has the 2nd highest cancer rate in the country.
