In an ahead-of-print article published today, Anne B. Martin and colleagues at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released their 2023 health care spending report.

 

Key takeaways from the report include:

  • Health care spending in the US continues to climb, with private insurance and Medicare leading the charge.
  • The insured share of the population reached a high of 92.5% in 2023.
  • Medicaid spending growth slowed as pandemic-related funding waned.
  • State and local governments accounted for a larger share of health spending, while federal contributions declined.
