“The Commonwealth Fund has rated Vermont, Hawaii and Iowa the top three states in terms of health care system performance. Louisiana, Oklahoma and Mississippi were rated the worst. The ratings are part of the group’s second State Scorecord which measures performance based on access, quality, costs and health outcomes.

“The group says the scorecard shows improvements made in care since 2007, but regional variation remains a serious problem.”
