healthcare spending
Medical budget outlays
Healthcare spending refers to the total amount of money allocated to medical services, treatments, equipment, and related health infrastructure by individuals, insurers, employers, or governments.
It encompasses costs for hospital care, physician services, prescription drugs, long-term care, and public health programs.
Healthcare spending is a major economic indicator and policy concern, particularly in countries where it consumes a significant share of GDP.
Rising healthcare spending has outpaced wage growth for decades.
