This article presents data on health care spending for the United States, covering expenditures for various types of medical services and products and their sources of funding from 1960 to 1995. In 1995, $988.5 billion was spent to purchase health care in the United States, up 5.5 percent from 1994. Growth in spending between 1993 and 1995 was the slowest in more than three decades, primarily because of slow growth in private health insurance and out-of-pocket spending. As a result, the share of health spending funded by private sources fell, reflecting the influence of increased enrollment in managed care plans.
本文介绍了美国医疗保健支出的数据,涵盖了1960年至1995年各类医疗服务和产品的支出及其资金来源。1995年,美国用于购买医疗保健的支出为9885亿美元,比1994年增长了5.5%。1993年至1995年期间支出的增长是三十多年来最慢的,主要原因是私人医疗保险和自付费用的增长缓慢。因此,私人来源资助的医疗支出份额下降,这反映了管理式医疗计划参保人数增加的影响。
