High prices, widening gaps in insurance coverage and racial
disparities in outcomes are tied to wide state-level variation in health care
performance that will likely be exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic,
according to a sweeping new report from The Commonwealth Fund. The analysis,
which assessed all 50 states and the District of Columbia on dozens of
measures tracking health care quality and costs, health outcomes and
disparities, indicates Americans’ health care burden and risk of poor health
varies widely based on where they live. While the data predates the COVID-19
crisis, researchers said the pandemic could worsen these state-level
disparities, “leaving people in poorly performing states even further
behind.” |
