The best healthcare in the nation isn’t helpful if it bankrupts the people who try to get it, and cheap healthcare isn’t worth paying for if it provides subpar or ineffective treatment, said WalletHub's Chip Lupo. "Therefore, the best states for healthcare are those that make high-quality care affordable, on top of providing many options for doctors and making insurance easily accessible.” MINNESOTA GREAT FOR HEALTH CAREOverall, Minnesota ranked second in the country for Health Care Access, third for cost and 11th for outcomes. The only state to finish with better healthcare value was New Hampshire, who finished first in outcomes, second in cost and 17th in access. QUALITY CARE MATTERSWhile access is important, quality of care is also a major factor in Minnesota's high ranking.
