South Carolina

A recent Winthrop University study gives us some insight into South Carolina’s poor state of health care.

Most people who live in this state say that they would support a government-owned national health plan, just as long as they would have the option of holding on to their regular insurance plans.

Unfortunately, as you will learn, the Southern part of our country has a strong presence on this list. South Carolina, with its rather poor healthcare rankings, proves this fact.

Ranking in the 39th overall spot on the list, the state ranked 30th or worse in all three major categories. Its top ranking was in health care quality, in which it came in 30th. But the worst ranking? Public health. Here it landed at the 41st rank.

    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.
