In 2023, the vast majority of direct health premiums written by the U.S. health insurance industry related to expenses for Medicare and Medicaid. Together, these accounted for over 700 billion of the more than one trillion U.S. dollars in direct premiums written for that year. The combined total of individual and group comprehensive private health insurance was less than Medicare or Medicaid spending alone, however, at around 285 billion U.S. dollars.
