Summary[edit]

Understanding the chart[edit]

The bar chart shows the annual percent change in U.S. national healthcare expenditures from 2000-2015. The rate of increase declined from 2002 to 2013, and then started rising back up through 2015.[1]

Several studies have attempted to explain the reduction from 2002-2013. Reasons include, among others:

  • Higher unemployment due to the 2008-2012 recession, which has limited the ability of consumers to purchase healthcare;
  • Rising out-of-pocket payments;
  • Deductibles (the amount a person pays before insurance begins to cover claims) have risen sharply. Workers must pay a larger share of their own health costs, and generally forces them to spend less.
  • The proportion of workers with employer-sponsored health insurance enrolled in a plan that required a deductible climbed to about three-quarters in 2012 from about half in 2006.[2][3]
