HEALTH CARE INFLATION MAY BE SLOWING
Kiplinger's Personal Finance
|March 2020
Health care spending in 2018 rose at a slower rate than spending in the overall economy, according to a recently released government study.
-
The report found that U.S. health care spending reached $3.6 trillion in 2018, an increase of 4.6%. That was greater than the increase of 4.2% in 2017 but the same rate as in 2016, and it reflects a decade-long trend in which spending on health care as a percentage of the overall economy is growing slower than historical averages.
