Default red states have poor health care

gee what a surprise. the most redneck areas of the country, where
paranoia over obama runs supreme, has the worst healthcare in the US:

At the other end of the spectrum, Mississippi has the worst health
care, according to the scorecard. Oklahoma fares mildly better,
followed by Louisiana and Arkansas.

Generally, the report found, states in the South, Southwest and lower
Midwest have worse insurance rates and less access to good medical
treatment.

In an example of the disparate coverage, the report found that more
than 25 percent of children in the bottom five states did not receive
recommended vaccinations, while in the top five states, only 10
percent went without vaccinations.
