Health Spending Effectiveness
Marvia Weaver and coauthors explore how much the US spends per unit of
health gained
in
the July 2022 issue.
To assess spending for the entire health sector, Weaver and coauthors
rely on data on health care spending by cause as well as data on
disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) by cause.
With these figures, the authors estimate the amount spent per unit of
health gained, which they refer to as "spending effectiveness."
Weaver and coauthors find that "the US spent $114,339 per DALY averted
during the period 1996-2016." Further analysis shows that "a significant
portion of the growth in health spending over time has purchased health
improvements."
For future studies in health care spending, Weaver and coauthors
identify Alzheimer's disease; drug use disorders; chronic kidney
disease; and endocrine, metabolic, blood, and immune disorders as areas
in which spending is not associated with improving health outcomes.
Weaver will join Health Affairs Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil tomorrow on
the A Health Podyssey
podcast to dive deeper into this research. Subscribe today

responding to pandemics, the solution is bulking up the nation's
