While Wyoming did have the fifth lowest cancer rate in the nation, it ranked fourth for lowest percentage of medical residents retained, third for fewest physicians per capita and lowest percentage of insured children aged 0 to 18, and tied with West Virginia for the highest average monthly insurance premium.
