When Are Health Costs Excessive If $15,000 Is Average?
C. Eugene Steuerle via Urban Institute 
[Opinion] Oct. 1, 2003
"The per-household amount spent on health care this year will average about $15,000. Of that, government will pick up more than half through such programs as Medicare and Medicaid or through various tax subsidies.... Even without the Medicare drug benefit that Congress will try to hash out this fall, the typical couple retiring today will receive about $250,000 in Medicare benefits."
