US spending on health care estimated to reach $5.7 trillion in 2026
US spending on health care estimated to reach $5.7 trillion in 2026

Spending on health care in the U.S. will grow faster than the overall economy for the foreseeable future, according to a government report released Wednesday.
Health spending is expected to increase 5.5 percent annually through 2026, according to a report from the actuaries at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
That's 1 percentage point faster than economic growth projections.
Overall, health spending is projected to make up 19.7 percent of the U.S. economy in 2026, up from 17.9 percent in 2016. In total, spending on health care in the U.S. is estimated to reach $5.7 trillion in 2026, about $2 trillion higher than this year.
HHS attributed the hike to the increases in prices for medical goods and services for aging baby boomers.
Prescription drugs are expected to see the fastest growth, about 6.3 percent a year on average.
HHS also predicted the uninsured rate would increase slightly because of Congress's repeal of ObamaCare's individual mandate.
By 2026, 3.3 million people could become uninsured, according to the report.
The report assumes that younger and healthier people will be the most likely to drop coverage after the repeal of the mandate takes effect in 2019.

Cut that in half by getting ALL refugees, illegal aliens, TPS, asylum liars and breeders OFF our healthcare.
Give them VOUCHER for a vasectomy or tubal ligation!
No more breeding as a profession off the backs of US taxpayers!
And those dumb asses want to let illegal aliens bring their ELDERLY parents here so WE can pay for their nursing homes, hip replacement, heart attack, diabetes!
DEPORT EVERY ILLEGAL ALIEN OFF OUR SOIL!ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE "BROKEN" OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM
DO NOT REWARD THEM - DEPORT THEM ALL
