Minneapolis has taken the leading position on our list of best places to live in the US if you have rheumatoid arthritis. Patients with this condition, who live in the Minneapolis Metro Area, have wide access to affordable health care and medication and plenty of green areas that are ideal for light physical activity. The most affordable silver monthly premium in this city is $154. It is more than a half of the price of the average silver monthly premium for forty-year-olds in the United States, which in 2016 amounted to $321. Apart from affordable health care Minneapolis also has plenty of parks. It’s been on the top of the ParkScore list for several years with more than 28 acres of parks that are equally distributed among low-, medium- and high-income areas.
