3. Alaska
Alaska is the third state with the worst healthcare system, scoring 33.7% out of 100. There are more reasons that brought Alaska here, but probably the most important one is its geographical position. The state is huge, and many communities can’t be accessed by road. The weather is harsh, and this makes it difficult to travel, so access to medical care can be limited. In 2022, Alaska was the state with the worst access to healthcare.
Also, the state lacks healthcare infrastructure such as hospitals and clinics. More than that, since most of Alaska is not very accessible, there is a workforce shortage. There are not many doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to look for those in need.
