States have autonomy when it comes to state healthcare decisions\u00a0and this provides the potential for a great deal of diversity in policy. It is eye opening when one compares states with respect to many of the metrics associated with healthcare. Examples of\u00a0these\u00a0include\u00a0access and affordability,\u00a0prevention and treatment, and overall health.\u00a0Analyzing\u00a0them inconjunction with the state\u2019s\u00a0total population, demographics,\u00a0and average household income can\u00a0help elucidate\u00a0the rationale behind healthcare policy.\u00a0
