Oklahoma

Healthcare access in this state is ranked at number 47, and enrollment in health insurance is at number 49. To give you an idea: roughly 7.5% of females that are under 18 years old are uninsured. Dental visits for adults are ranked at number 46.

In fact, data shows that the percentage of adults without any dental visits in a year is at 41.8%. Healthcare quality comes in at number 42, and the quality in nursing homes is at number 43.

The nursing homes are rated 4+ stars by Medicare, which is slightly below 40%. Oklahoma’s public health is also ranked low, at number 45. Mental health comes in at number 46. Out of those, 14.3% of adults have poor mental health days out of at least 14 days of the month.

The state has a mortality rate of over 500 deaths for every 100,000 people, which explains the measure of low mortality rate in Oklahoma that’s ranked at number 45.

    Tennessee should be number 9. Unless,less you live in a big city. If you live in a small town patient have to wait 6-8 month to get an appointment with a specialist. I moved from another state to Tenn. was shocked to find such poor treatment in the Knoxville area. UT the only decent hospital for miles.
