Well, dang. This is not good.

Tennessee rankings (includes D.C.):
Cost - 25th
Access - 32nd
Outcomes - 48th
Yikes! Really bad outcomes????

Only states worse in outcomes are Alabama, Arkansas, and Mississippi.

The lowest ranked states do not have Medicaid Expansion. Although, Kentucky has Medicaid Expansion and they only rank one step higher than Tennessee.
