The Department of Health and Human Services’ Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has assembled data from the 2008 National Healthcare Quality Report 
into easy-to-interpret State Snapshots “to help State officials and their public- and private-sector partners better understand health care quality and disparities in their State.”
And, in a feature called “The Health Care Status Quo” on HealthReform.gov, the administration is using state-by-state data to champion it’s efforts to overhaul the system, with statistics for each state that show things like how many people are uninsured, how many children are obese, how many people don’t have access to care and more. The statistics are all previously available but this feature does compile them from the various agencies and gives a profile for each state with numbers showing problems. Downsides: You can’t quickly compare states (just one at a time) and it is overtly political, clearly intended to support Health Policy.
