摘要: In 2005, U.S. health care spending increased 6.9 percent to almost $2.0 trillion, or $6,697 per person. The portion of gross domestic product (GDP) was 16.0 percent, slightly higher than the 15.9 share in 2004. This third consecutive year slower growth largely driven by prescription drug expenditures. Spending for hospital and physician clinical services grew at similar rates as they did
