Recently, The Seminal questioned the media's coverage of rising gas prices, while glossing over the rising cost of health care in the United States. This chart shows the national expenditure on health care (in billions) since 1960. In 2004, the $1.87 trillion spent on health care represented 16 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In other words, health care took 16 cents of each dollar spent in 2006. By 2015 some forecast that 1 out of every 5 dollars in America will go to health care. —Natalie

Thanks for the info. Is this *all* national expenditures, or just US Government expenditures? If *all*, can you break out the Government from Private? Thanks!

Hi mrg,

I'm not completely sure. I uploaded the data after reading a blog post on the issue, and beyond that I don't know much about health expenditures. You could check out the data source for more information: http://www.kff.org/insuranc...
