The National Health Expenditure Accounts (NHEA) are the official estimates of total health care spending in the United States. Dating back to 1960, the NHEA measures annual U.S. expenditures for health care goods and services, public health activities, program administration, the net cost of private insurance, and research and other investment related to health care. The data are presented by type of service, sources of funding, and by sponsors.
U.S. health care spending growth decelerated in 2008, increasing 4.4 percent compared to 6.0 percent in 2007. Total health expenditures reached $2.3 trillion, which translates to $7,681 per person or 16.2 percent of the nation's Gross Domestic Product. The health spending share of GDP reached 16.2 percent, up from 15.9 percent in 2007.
