ST. PAUL — Minnesota is the second-best state for healthcare, per a new study from WalletHub. ADVERTISEMENT"When we invest in the health and well-being of Minnesotans, we see improved health outcomes and lower healthcare costs," Walz said. "Minnesota has again demonstrated itself to be nation-leading in healthcare access, quality, and outcomes; part of what makes this state the best place in the country to raise a family." In the three subcategories, Minnesota ranked third for cost, second for access and 11th for outcomes. "The quality of healthcare matters as much as the cost, and Minnesota delivers," the analysis states.
