US healthcare spending jumps past $3 trillion under ObamaCare
Healthcare spending rose to more than $3 trillion in the United States last
year, jumping by 5.3 percent and marking the largest increase since 2007 as
millions of people gained coverage under ObamaCare.
Medicaid spending alone increased at a rate of 11 percent, nearly twice its
growth rate the previous year, as millions of people were added to its rolls
. Spending on private health insurance increased 4.4 percent, compared to 1.
6 percent before the marketplace was launched.
The rising costs of prescription drugs is also taking a toll: The total
spending on prescription drugs increase by 12.2 percent last year.
Health officials say the hike was largely driven by the flow of customers
into the healthcare law's new marketplaces in 2014. |
