Differing trends in health spending by state underlie national spending trends. To shed light on the complexities of health spending patterns among state residents, we present updated per capita health spending estimates by state of residence for 1991-1998 and new estimates for 1999-2004, and we offer summaries of trends exhibited during these time periods. These statistics provide the opportunity for further analysis, such as examination of variations in state-level spending in Medicare, Medicaid, and total personal health care spending, which can yield new perspectives on recent state health spending trends and provide context for policy discussions.
各州医疗支出的不同趋势构成了全国支出趋势的基础。为了阐明各州居民医疗支出模式的复杂性，我们给出了1991 - 1998年按居住州划分的人均医疗支出更新估计数以及1999 - 2004年的新估计数，并总结了这些时间段内呈现的趋势。这些统计数据为进一步分析提供了机会，比如对医疗保险、医疗补助和个人医疗总支出在州层面支出差异的研究，这可以为近期各州医疗支出趋势带来新视角，并为政策讨论提供背景信息。
