Governor Walz Announces Minnesota Ranked Third Best State to Have a Baby

Governor Walz announced this week that Minnesota is ranked the third best state to have a baby. The WalletHub study [ [link removed] ] ranked states across key metrics including cost and health care accessibility, and baby and family friendliness. Minnesota's ranking is due in part to low health insurance premiums, high-quality health care, and access to child care centers.

*"Minnesota just ranked the third best state to have a baby. That's no coincidence,"* said Governor Walz. *"We’re expanding paid leave and child care, delivering a nation-leading child tax credit, and investing in public schools. We’re putting families first and it’s making a difference."*
