Healthcare Spending Growth Rate Rises Again in 2015
Government agencies, companies, and consumers spent a lot more on healthcare in 2015 than the prior year. It’s another result of the U.S. reducing its uninsured rate to historic lows through healthcare reform, which has spurred demand for more hospital services, clinic visits, and prescription drugs.
The U.S. healthcare system spent $3.2 trillion in 2015, or almost $10,000 for every person, according to the latest federal projections. It’s a 5.5% increase from 2014—still a lot lower than the annual growth rates from decades ago, but a tick higher than the 5.3% increase recorded in 2014 and above the rates seen in the immediate aftermath of the Affordable Care Act and the Great Recession. Government economists also reaffirmed their prediction that national health spending will grow by 5.8% each year on average over the next decade.
