Health Improvements in U.S. Slow Even as Costs Rise, Study Finds
Nov,12,2013
by:+Shannon Pettypiece
(Bloomberg) -- The $2.7 trillion U.S. health-care system lags behind other nations in improving its citizens’ health even as spending has doubled, increasing faster than any other industry over the past decade, researchers said.
The rise in costs have been driven primarily by the price of services, drugs and devices rather than higher demand from an aging population, according to a report today on U.S. spending trends in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The analysis also found that two-thirds of spending is for people younger than 65 with chronic illness, though most of the focus on cutting costs has been centered on the elderly.
