See Where Massachusetts Ranks On Best Children's Health Care List

MASSACHUSETTS — Massachusetts ranks No. 1 in the country for children’s health care, according to a study by personal finance website WalletHub.

WalletHub noted that around 95 percent of children have health insurance.

“The bad news is that the high coverage rate hasn’t translated to lower health costs for parents, and the average amount workers pay toward employer-sponsored family coverage is over $6,500 per year,” WalletHub wrote.

Cost isn’t the only important factor in children’s health care. Other major contributors include the quality of the health care system and environmental factors like access to healthy food and fluoridated water.

The WalletHub study looked at 33 key indicators of cost, quality, and access to children’s health care.

Here’s a closer look at Massachusetts’ rankings:

• Kids’ health and access to health care: No. 3
• Kids’ nutrition, physical activity, and obesity: No. 2
• Kids’ oral health: No. 19
• Percentage of uninsured children: No. 1
• Infant death rate: No. 3
• Percentage of children with recent medical and dental checkup: tied for No. 1

The Bay State frequently ranks at the top of health care ranking lists. Newsweek recently ranked 15 Massachusetts hospitals among the best in the world. Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, both in Boston, were in the top 10.

Last year, Boston Children’s Hospital and Mass General Children’s Hospital were both ranked among the best pediatric medical centers in the country.
