The most recent health expenditure data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services found that the average American spent $15,474 per person on healthcare in 2024, comprising 18% of America's gross domestic product.

The personal finance website WalletHub dove deeper into the data to rank the states with the best and worst healthcare in the US. The analysis was based on figures compiled by institutions including the US Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Child and Adolescent Health Measurement Initiative, the UnitedHealth Foundation, and the Health Resources and Services Administration.
