Some of the reasons they say why the south has a lower credit score is due to medical debt and less availability of medicare. I live in a state with expanded medicare and I have seen first-hand how it covers hospital stays, procedures like hip replacements, and physical therapy at seemingly no cost to the patient. Otherwise this care would have resulted in 10s of thousands of dollars of bills which couldn't be paid back. This care was timely, with choices of doctors and facilities and covered emergency as well as elective procedures. These patients getting care in short order that in Canada would take months or even years to receive. We have a weird, messed up, inconsistent medical system in the US, but for some people in some states who have medicare, it's actually half way decent.
