Forbes compared data using 11 metrics to determine how expensive healthcare per person is in each state. The analysis took into account data including healthcare expenditures per capita, average health insurance premiums across multiple plan types, percent of residents in the state who didn’t see a physician in 12 months due to high costs, and percent increase in out of pocket healthcare expenditure over a five-year period.
Here are the states ranked from most to least expensive and the average healthcare spending per person for the state. Note: high spending per person for the state does not equate to being the most expensive state, as Forbes took several other factors into consideration for this ranking.
