Texas near bottom of U.S. states for health care, study finds

Despite being home to world class hospitals, Texas is among the worst U.S. states for health care, according to a new study, which placed the Lone Star State eighth from the bottom. Financial platform Forbes Advisory, which authored the report, ranked all 50 states' quality of healthcare by analyzing 24 metrics across four key categories, including Healthcare Access, Healthcare Outcomes, Healthcare Cost and Quality of Hospital Care. Although Texas scored above average on the quality of its hospitals, consumers here face high healthcare premiums, and it's increasingly difficult for many to access medical facilities, according to the study.
