The United Health Foundation has released its latest health rankings report, and the findings paint a conflicting portrait of the U.S. health system.
While overall U.S. deaths increased 17% from 2019 to 2020, people also reported a 13% increase in high health status during the same time.
The report examined more than 80 measures from 30 data sources, with the goal of illuminating the strengths and pitfalls of this country’s health. It offers a look into disparities by age, gender, race, ethnicity, geography, education and income level. The report is available at AmericasHealthRankings.org, as is an interactive breakdown of the data.
