Ahead-Of-Print: National Health Care Spending In 2021
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.
