The numbers are in for the best – and worst – U.S. states for health care.
U.S. News & World Report tabulated the results, released Tuesday, as part of their “Best States 2019” list.
Of the eight categories included in the report, health care was listed first with an assigned weight of 16 percent.
Each category “was assigned weightings based on the average of three years of data from an annual national survey that asked a total of more than 50,000 people to prioritize each subject in their state,” the outlet explained.
In determining each states health care ranking, access for both kids and adults to preventative medical and dental treatment was a factor, U.S. News & World Report said.
