Yet, the U.S. has the highest health care spending per capita in the
world.
Health insurance premiums are rising 10 to 15 percent a year. Insurance
companies are increasing profits and reserves and recouping losses incurred in the
mid-1990s. The underlying rate of increase in health care costs is slower, but
In 2001, the U.S. spent more than $1.4 trillion for health care, or 14.1 percent of
the gross domestic product (GDP)—a major jump from 13.3 percent of GDP in
In 2001, health care costs per capita increased by 8.7 percent—considerably faster than inflation in the economy as a whole. While projected to slow somewhat, the U.S. can expect 7 percent annual increases for the next decade.
Prescription drugs remain the fastest growing health care item, but acceleration in
hospital costs is a troubling development.
Administrative expenses are increasing 11.2 percent a year. Currently at $111 billion, they are projected to rise to $223 billion in 2012. Administrative expenses for private insurance are two-and-one-half times as high as for public programs.
Private insurance health care outlays per enrollee have been rising more rapidly
than Medicare outlays per beneficiary in the last 30 years. In 2003, Federal
Employees Health Benefits Plan spending per participant is rising 15 percent,
compared with 4.1 percent for Medicare.
The U.S. spent $4,631 per capita on health care in 2000, 69 percent more than in Germany, 83 percent more than in Canada, and 134 percent more than the average of all industrialized nations.
The U.S. has a higher share of private spending (56%) than industrialized nations (average of 26%). Out-of-pocket health care spending per capita was $707 in the U.S. in 2000, more than twice the industrialized nation average ($328).
Americans receive fewer days of hospital care than other industrialized nations,
and about the same number of visits to physicians.
Sick adults in the U.S. report higher rates of medical errors, are more likely to go for duplicate tests, and are less likely to have their medical records available when they go for care compared with similar adults in other major English-speaking
countries.
The U.S. is the only major industrialized nation not to provide health coverage for
all.
