regional differences in the cost and quality of healthcare

This graph is an interactive data map which examines the regional differences in the cost and quality of healthcare.  I think that the graphic displays the information clearly and it displays a variety of information in a coherent way.  The only thing that I would suggest is that the "acute care," outpatient," and  "surgical" maps all be displayed at the same time so that it would be easier to compare the data from state to state.  It would be great if you could click on a state from the map examining "acute care" for instance and the info would stay on the screen while clicking on the same state of the "outpatient" map.
