NPR's blog Shots/Kaiser Health News tally some of the interesting findings: McAllen, Texas, was the leg amputation capital of the nation with 3.29 per 1,000 Medicare enrollees. Provo, Utah, had the lowest rate, at only 0.33 per 1000 enrollees. People who live in Florence, S.C., were most likely to see a primary care doctor. Eighty-eight percent saw one at least once a year. The Bronx had the worst showing in that category -- only 60.2 percent made it to the doctor each year (Rau, 9/9).
