Richard Barrington, Personal Financial Analyst Expert | MoneyRates.com | Foster City, California, USA

We are delighted our research on the best states for healthcare was recognized by Consumer World Awards. For this study, MoneyRates.com assessed seven aspects of healthcare in the United States: health-insurance coverage, longevity, child-vaccination coverage, infant survival, nursing-home capacity, hospital capacity, and patient-care doctors per capita. We included an interactive map and state-by-state comparison tool to make it easy for readers to assess how healthcare in their state compares to that in other states. Our report also offers suggestions to help individuals reduce capital outlays or use financial products to help them save money more efficiently for healthcare and retirement at the same time. Our goal is to help educate consumers about personal finance so they have the information they need to make important decisions. It’s rewarding to know that our efforts are making a difference.
