Federal money

Figures are nominal — not adjusted for inflation — because USAspending publishes them that way and adjusting them here would mean this site had edited a government figure. The per-resident figure divides by the 2020 decennial count, which is the population USAspending carries; a 2020 denominator against 2025 spending overstates per-head figures wherever a place has grown since. Louisiana ranks 28th of 56 on this measure in FY2025.
Most complete reporters
Hospitals reporting the most quality measures to CMS. More measures means a fuller public record, not necessarily better care — the two are easy to confuse and are kept separate here.
