Preferred term

spending on health care  

Definition

  • Both the level and growth rate of U.S. health care spending are reaching new highs, not only with respect to historical domestic spending patterns but also to other countries' contemporary patterns. This spending pattern, however, does not exhibit a positive association (at least not a strong one) with U.S. population health.
