Health Care Spending Slowing in High-Income Countries
Data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development indicate that health care spending growth has slowed in all high-income nations since 2000, highlighting a new trend in global spending in the sector. The trend marks a difference from health care spending growth before 1990, when spending on the sector in the U.S. significantly outpaced all other Western nations.
