Georgia
On March 27, 2019, Georgia lawmakers signed the Patients First Act, a bill devised to make it more effortless for uninsured and underinsured citizens to access healthcare.
It was about time, too, because Georgia is one of the US states that ranks lowest when it comes to insured adults. Atlanta is the first of a slew of the states in the south that make up the bottom 15 on the list of poor quality healthcare.
And as far as the categories go, the state was judged the hardest in healthcare access, coming in 45th place in the country. The best ranking they had was in healthcare quality, which came in 27th.

Unbelievable,People that have worked all there lives and paid there b dues,When they retire they should not have to worry about paying alot for health care ,they should be given it for free not a crappy plan ,a top rated plan all states should have the same plans for seniors
The way the world is going today then American people don’t matter anymore
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.
