California as said prior had very little reserve funds for their pension and health care plans. What is even worse is the medical for retirees on top of this. I can show you status sheets from 2006-2007 of all states regarding pension plans ans saved money for that, saved funds for state workers along with health care benefits to be owed.

North Carolina Georgia Florida
...are the best states to retire from simply because they were able to keep and build their obligations and future considerations instead of diping into every year until they can no longer pay.
I can check the backgroud of these states but believe Tenneesse or Kentucky is in the worse shape of all them.
