THESE GOVERNORS , LIKE BOBBY JINDAHL, RED(NECK) STATE, OPPOSE OBAMACARE, THEY PROBABLY PREFER EARLY DEATH. HERE IS THE PROOF: Louisiana took the much “not-coveted” award as the unhealthiest U.S. state while Vermont was dubbed the healthiest for the second straight year. The annual report that is in its nineteenth year by the United Health Foundation, American Public Health Association and the Partnership for Prevention advocacy group, assessed a series of measures including binge drinking, health insurance coverage, air pollution, infectious disease rates, crime levels and immunization coverage. Rounding out the bottom 10 were South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Nevada and Georgia. Many of Southern states clustered near the bottom of the rankings have some of the highest rates of obesity, which contributes to heart disease, stroke, diabetes and some types of cancer, as well as high rates of smoking, which causes cancer, lung disease, heart disease and other problems. Vermont topped the rankings, followed by Hawaii, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Utah, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Idaho and Maine.
