Article Synopsis
- Health care spending is taking up an increasing portion of government budgets in Western nations, particularly focusing on the distribution of costs among Medicare enrollees aged 65 and older from 2007 to 2018.
- The study analyzed the spending patterns and found that the top 1% of beneficiaries were responsible for nearly 15% of total costs, and significant costs were concentrated among the highest utilizers of healthcare services.
- Despite overall stable spending growth, the lowest spending groups saw the highest annual increases, indicating disparities in how spending growth affects different segments of the population.
