UNDERSTANDING U.S. HEALTH CARE SPENDING NIHCM FoUNDATIoN DATA BRIEF
UNDERSTANDING U.S.
HEALTH CARE SPENDING
NIHCM FoUNDATIoN DATA BRIEF
JULy 2011
1
Summary of Key Points
n U.S. spending for health care has been on a relentless upward path – reaching $2.5 trillion in the aggregate,
$8,100 per person, and 17.6 percent of GDP in 2009.
n Spending is highly concentrated among a relatively small portion of high-cost users, with just 5 percent of
the population responsible for almost 50 percent of all spending. At the other end, half of the population
accounts for just 3 percent of spending.
n As more people are being diagnosed with and treated for chronic conditions, including many linked to
rising obesity rates, high health spending has spread to a larger segment of the population. The spending
distribution remains highly concentrated, however.
n Higher spending for hospital care and physician and clinical services accounted for half of the increase
in total national health spending between 2005 and 2009 and more than 80 percent of the increase in
private insurance premiums over the period.
n Rising prices per unit of service have played a larger role than rising utilization rates as a determinant of
recent expenditure growth.
n Key drivers of rising unit prices and higher utilization include advances in medical technology, rising
treated prevalence rates for chronic diseases, and increased provider consolidation and market power.

My mother died unexpectedly when I was only 8 days old. All of my relatives — aunts, uncles and cousins — helped to take care of me while my father grieved the loss of his wife. After a few years, however, my father was remarried and I had a new stepmother who seemed less than enthusiastic about being around her husband’s first wife’s family. Soon all visits and phone calls were blocked altogether.
