Vermont Ranks #1 in Health Care - But . . .

In a recently released national study, Vermont came out as the number 1 state in the Union in terms of healthcare.  However, the state's ranking in terms of binge drinking placed it at 37th in the nation.  The state also saw a rise in obesity.  Vermont ranked 41st in per capita public spending for healthcare, spending $93 per person. 

The study covered 1990, 2000, 2006, and 2006.
