The Kaiser Family Foundation today issued a new data update showing variations across states and racial and ethnic groups for six key health and health care indicators. The data update provides a quick glance at disparities in rates of infant mortality, diabetes-related mortality and AIDS cases among whites, African Americans and Hispanics in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. It also provides similar breakdowns showing the percentage of each group in each state that is uninsured, enrolled in Medicaid, and living in poverty.
