BEA Releases New Batch of Health Care Statistics | ||
SUITLAND, Md. -- The Bureau of Economic Analysis released a fresh set of statistics Wednesday detailing how much the United States spends to treat different diseases and medical conditions. The numbers, which cover 2013, offer new insights into health care, which accounts for more than 17 percent of the U.S. economy. Here are some of the findings:
The statistics are part of BEA’s Health Care Satellite Account, created in 2015, to offer a new way of looking at health care spending. This data project breaks out spending by the treatment of disease, such as circulatory diseases or cancers, rather than by place of service, such as hospital or doctor’s office. The statistics cited in this advisory come from BEA’s “Blended Account,” which combines data from multiple sources, including large claims databases, covering millions of enrollees and billions of claims. The newly released statistics, along with information about BEA’s Health Care Satellite Account, are available on our public website. | ||
