health spending
Healthcare budget allocation
Health spending is money allocated to medical care, healthcare services, and related costs.
It encompasses individual expenses like insurance premiums and doctor visits, as well as government outlays on programs like Medicare and Medicaid.
Economists and policymakers track health spending as a percentage of GDP to assess how much of a nation's resources flow toward healthcare: Health spending in the U.S. exceeds that of any other developed country.
