Apples Meet Oranges
From today's AJC:
Georgia ranks 39th among the states in spending per resident on public health, despite having the nation’s ninth-largest economic output.
So we have a comparison of spending per capita to aggregate output (presumably gross state product) instead of output per capita. As it happens, Georgia ranks 41st in gross state product per capita. Source (scroll down to the gsp per capita section and click on link to table 1).
