Reed Tuckson, executive vice president and chief of medical affairs for UnitedHealth Group, remarked, "At a time when the nation, states and individual families are grappling with tightening budgets and growing health care expenses, this year's Rankings sends a loud wake up all that the burden of preventable chronic disease will continue to get worse unless we take urgent action."
