Ohio nearly last in US for health, report shows

A ranking released Tuesday places health in Ohio near the bottom among all 50 U.S. states and Washington, D.C.

Ohio ranked 47th in the country in the 2021 "health value dashboard" from the Columbus-based Health Policy Institute of Ohio (HPIO). The dashboard's rankings are based on a combination of public health and health care spending, according to the institute.

Ohio ranked 43rd for population health and 37th for health care spending in the latest edition of the dashboard. Ohio's low ranking was largely based on inequities, a lack of prevention due to a "sparse public health workforce" and childhood adversity and trauma, according to a press release.

And DeWine bowed to them. Now they have taken away DeWine’s powers to issue health orders

Combine that with huge inequities in access to health care and fewer laws than ever on gun ownership and new Stand Your Ground law. Is it any wonder we are sinking to the bottom faster than a stone here!

Other reasons for the ranking too but we have lots of dumb asses who still smoke and are anti maskers.
