California is like two step away from being the Greece of the US. Then again the US is like 5-10 years away from being Greece too, so maybe that isn't saying much.

I could keep going around and just pulling out articles to prove my point, but I think that should do for now. It is a big state that has a lot of people, and some of those people do make a lot of money but overall the state is doing very badly. That last link also says how the average household there is 77,000 dollars in debt. They also have a lot of government corruption and stuff, but its harder to find statistics for that. They are definitely not among the healthiest states in the country though, not by a long shot. They are among the worse.
