Health spending distribution in the United States from 2013 to 2022, by contributor
Health spending refers to national health expenditures. Estimates of spending by contributor are organized according to the underlying entity (business, households, and government) financing the health care bill payer. CMS refers to contributors as “sponsors.” Segments may not sum to 100% due to rounding.
2013-2018 values were quoted from previous editions of "California Health Care Almanac - Health Care Costs 101".
