Kentucky: Ranked #10

Livability

What Kentucky lacks in affordability and quality of healthcare, it makes up for with plenty of culture, low cost of living and great tax cuts. But are those enough to rank them among the best places to retire in? Not quite so.
Despite being the home of some of the best whiskey in the world, and one of the most-awaited, high-stakes horse races around the globe, not-to-mention the low cost of living and tax cuts, the state of Kentucky still makes it to the worst retirement states list for 2019.
The home of the Kentucky Derby has one of the most expensive healthcare insurance costs in the country. While the rest of the nation saw a decrease in health plans, thanks to Obamacare, Kentucky’s premiums rocketed skyward by 9%. If you were a senior trying to make the most of your retirement fund, this isn’t good.
