Ahead-Of-Print: National Health Care Spending In 2021
A new analysis from the Office of the Actuary at the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) was released ahead-of-print today
<[link removed]>.
Anne Martin and coauthors estimate that in 2021 health care spending in
the United States increased 2.7 percent to $4.3 trillion, or $12,914 per
person.
The authors' findings indicate that health care spending growth in 2021
was much slower than growth in the nominal gross domestic product (GDP),
which increased 10.7 percent.
Other findings from the article, which will be featured in the January
2023 issue of Health Affairs, include:
* Growth in total health care spending in 2021 reflected increases in
the use of health care goods and services and insurance coverage that
were accompanied by a decline in federal government health care
spending.
* Federal COVID-19 funding continued in 2021, but at a much lower level
than in 2020.
* The number of uninsured individuals declined for the second
consecutive year, going from 31.2 million in 2020 to 28.5 million in
2021.
