An Analysis of Health Care Spending by Medicare Households (PDF)
Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation Feb. 5, 2009
16 pages. Excerpt: In this paper, we analyze health care spending as a share of total household expenditures, rather than as a share of income, to assess how health-related expenditures compare with other spending priorities among Medicare households, including both the elderly and younger adults with disabilities. Using data from the 2006 Consumer Expenditure Survey, we examine spending on health care relative to other goods and services, such as housing, transportation, and food. We also assess the extent to which health care spending as a share of total expenditures varies by household characteristics, such as poverty level and geographic area, and examine the subcomponents of health care spending, including premiums, prescription drugs, and medical services.
