A report released this week shows that Vermont has the second-highest health care spending per inmate in the U.S., and state data show those costs continue to grow. States are legally obligated to cover the health care costs for inmates and, according to the report, the median cost per inmate nationwide rose 13 percent from 2011 to 2007, but peaked in most states prior to 2011. That was not the case in Vermont where per-inmate health spending grew 17 percent during that period from $10,092 to $11,761. Only California spent more per inmate at $14,945 in 2011, according to the report, which was sponsored by the Pew Charitable Trusts. Read More. |
