Index of Health Care Ownership is Out! Every State Ranked!

Utah Top of the List, New York Bottom of the Barrel on 24 Measures

Categories: Alabama, Certificates of Need (CON), Delaware, Hospitals, Insurance Regulation, Maine, Medicaid, Medical Malpractice, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Retail Clinics, Utah, Vermont

PRI has released the Index of Health Ownership, which uses 24 variables to rank all the states according to their residents' freedom from undue government interference in health care.

Top 5: Utah, Nebraska, Delaware, North Dakota, Alabama

Bottom 5: New York, Vermont, New Jersey, North Carolina, Maine

I know SPN wants to collaborate in promoting this effort and I'll be in touch with John LaPlante on that. Any SPN members who want more color or would like me to speak in their state please contact me. This is something we intend to repeat periodically, hopefully annually.

Go forth and own your health care!
