Wisconsin is no longer tops in the U.S. in the quality of its health care.
A federal analysis released this week ranks Wisconsin second to Minnesota.

But acording to the analysis, Wisconsin did have fewer hospitalizations due to diabetes and fewer HIV related deaths per capita than the national average.

The state also beat the U.S. average in categories of administrative service, prenatal care, treatment of heart disease and nursing-home care.

Wisconsin lagged in categories including the rate of suicide deaths and deaths due to prostate cancer.
