Texas Ranked 3rd Lowest In The Country For Health/medical Care !

This is feasible, so I can believe it...

Take a close, hard look at healthcare in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. The quality of care is horrendously compromised by dangerous staffing ratios, patient overcrowding, and a dire shortage of healthcare professionals in that region. In certain border towns, it is common for 1 med-surg nurse to care for up to 20 patients. Realistically speaking, how can you provide superb care to 20 patients in an acute care setting?

What source is this list on?

I was thinking along similar lines. It would be nice to have a link to the aforementioned story...
