With parents needing to safeguard their children against the coronavirus and Every Kid Healthy Week kicking off on April 24, the personal-finance website WalletHub today released its report on 2020’s Best & Worst States for Children’s Health Care as well as accompanying videos.

In order to determine which states offer the most cost-effective and highest-quality health care for children, WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 33 key metrics. The data set ranges from share of children aged 0 to 17 in excellent or very good health to pediatricians and family doctors per capita.
