National Health Spending In 2013: Growth Slows, Remains In Step With The Overall Economy (Micah Hartman1,*, Anne B. Martin2, David Lassman3, Aaron Catlin4, the National Health Expenditure Accounts Team, December 2014, Health Affairs)
In 2013 US health care spending increased 3.6 percent to $2.9 trillion, or $9,255 per person. The share of gross domestic product devoted to health care spending has remained at 17.4 percent since 2009. Health care spending decelerated 0.5 percentage point in 2013, compared to 2012, as a result of slower growth in private health insurance and Medicare spending.
