In an ahead-of-print article released yesterday, Sean P. Keehan and coauthors at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services review national health expenditure data for 2024–33.

Among their findings, the researchers found that national health expenditures are projected to have grown 8.2 percent in 2024 and to increase 7.1 percent in 2025, reflecting continued strong growth in the use of health care services and goods.

Tomorrow, Jeff Byers invites Michael Chernew from Harvard Medical School to break down these projections on Health Affairs This Week.
