4. Tennessee

The Volunteer State doesn’t have a really good healthcare system, and with a score of 38.3 out of 100, it is actually the state with the fourth-worst healthcare in the U.S. It is one of the states that have the highest rates of preventable deaths, at 88.7 per 100,000 residents.

There are many rural areas that don’t benefit from proper healthcare, and this makes it hard for the residents to live healthier lives. Because of this, there is a higher incidence of chronic illnesses such as diabetes, which leads to less-than-favorable health outcomes. Tennessee is the fourth-worst state for health outcomes.
