CQ Press: Oklahoma 8th Unhealthiest State

CQ Press ranks Oklahoma as the eighth unhealthiest state in the nation.
The study reports: "No. 8: Oklahoma ~ The health outlook wasn't always so poor in the Sooner State. In 1993, Oklahoma was in the middle of the pack, instead of topping the list. Its high teenage birth rate, poor prenatal care, high age-adjusted death rate and high percentage of people not covered by health insurance are just some of the factors keeping it there."
