It can be. Better education, more hospitals, more money.
Democratic states tend to have expanded Obamacare coverage. I can’t think of anything else.
Population wide? Yes, 100%.
A lot of that has to do with density and how many people are how far from how much primary, emergency and speciality care though.
Your specific results will ultimately vary with exactly where you are much as in the south.
Probably for frostbite and ice skating related accidents
Yes
It depends on the area, especially population density. You going to get far better health care in Atlanta then Sheboygan and you’re probably going to get better health care at Houston medical center than anywhere in the world.
[Life expectancy](https://www.cdc.gov/surveillance/images/Life-expectancy-map-2010-15.png) in the US has a pretty strong correlation with [poverty rates](https://www.cdc.gov/dhdsp/maps/images/sd_poverty.jpg). People who have higher incomes tend to have better jobs, which tend to offer better insurance, which makes those people more likely to seek non-emergency healthcare, which leads to more demand for healthcare providers, which draws more and better healthcare professionals to the area.
If dunno if that last sentence can actually be backed up by any scientific study, it’s just my conclusion.
Most of the top 10 states for health care are from the North while most of the bottom 10 are from the South.

Health care and health insurance don’t always go hand-in-hand, but my company is based in the Upper Midwest and their health insurance with BCBS is superior to my wife’s company’s plan, also BCBS but in TX.
I would imagine, holistically, that health care would be better up in that region of the country, but I have no experience with it
Boston has some of the best hospitals in the world.
Do you have any specific health concerns? I have a medically complex child. We live in North Carolina’s Triangle. We have received excellent care at both Duke & UNC, and many people travel here to see specific doctors. Aside from that, the best places are Vandy, Cincinnati Children’s, & Denver Children’s. I have no idea why, but the top specialists for his particular issues are centered in those particular places. So, for me, it depends entirely on what kind of medical care you need and how specialized it is.
The biggest hit for the south is that it has a bunch of rural poverty. Ruralness and Poverty both cause access issues, and, combined, it’s a disaster. Generally, if you’re in an urban/suburban area of the south (or north), the north and south are pretty comparable.
Do you mean better as more affordable and available?
Or better as in quality?
Health care tends to be a little better in areas of teaching hospitals.
Yes
