MN near top of state-by-state healthcare rankings-- guess who's at the bottom?

The Commonwealth Fund has produced a great interactive map ranking the states on healthcare access. Not surprisingly the states with more progressive government ranked highly (Vermont is #1, my state of Minnesota #4). The states represented by Republicans or Blue Dogs in Congress are at the bottom. Indeed, the map looks a lot like the 2008 electoral map...people in the deep south have poor healthcare AND bad government. Coincidence? I think not.
