The conclusions listed next are indicated by the above findings.

CONCLUSION #1. The National Health Expenditures Per Capita increase from 2010 to 2015 (which was 2.17 times more than the Inflation increase) falls somewhat short of the desirable goal of having per capita U.S. health care spending increases that are no more than the general inflation increases.

CONCLUSION #2. Increases in National Health Expenditures Per Capita have steadily declined from 1960 through 2015.

CONCLUSION #3. The National Health Expenditures Per Capita increase for the time period 2010 to 2015 was significantly LESS than the increases for the preceding time periods.

CONCLUSION #4. Medicare administration expenses are somewhat lower than other health expenditure payers, including Private Health Insurance.

CONCLUSION 5. It appears that the Department of Veteran Affairs should be allocated more funds for administration expenses.

Administration and Total Net Cost of Health Insurance Expenditures include the administrative costs of health care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid as well as the net cost of Private Health Insurance. Net cost is the difference between private health insurance expenditures and benefits incurred and includes administrative costs, additions to reserves, rate credits and dividends, premium taxes and fees, and net underwriting gains or losses.

Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is a joint federal/State program that provides health insurance for children in families that do not have health insurance coverage and are not eligible for Medicaid.

Department of Defense health care program - TRICARE - covers members of the uniformed services, their families and their survivors, as well as retired members and their families.

Durable Medical Equipment includes retail sales of items such as contact lenses, eyeglasses and other ophthalmic products, surgical and orthopedic products, medical equipment rental, oxygen and hearing aids. Durable medical equipment generally has a useful life of over three years.

Equipment is comprised of the value of new capital equipment (including software) purchased or put in place by the medical sector during the year. This measure of medical sector investment includes establishments engaged in providing health care, but does not include retail establishments that sell non-durable or durable medical goods. Non-structural equipment such as X-ray machines and beds are included in equipment.

General Assistance refers to direct payments or payments to vendors to or on behalf of needy persons who do not qualify for federally financed assistance programs. It is provided by state and local government jurisdictions, and is not financed in whole or part by federal funds. General assistance may be administered by the state welfare agency, a local agency, or a local agency under state supervision. Eligibility requirements and payment levels of general assistance programs vary greatly from state to state and often within a state.

Indian Health Services is an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services that is responsible for providing federal health services to American Indians and Alaska Natives. The provision of health services to members of federally-recognized tribes grew out of the special government-to-government relationship between the federal government and Indian tribes. Indian Health Services provides a comprehensive health service delivery system for approximately 1.9 million American Indians and Alaska Natives who belong to 566 federally recognized tribes in 35 states.

Investment includes spending for noncommercial biomedical research and expenditures by health care establishments on structures and equipment.

Maternal/Child Health is a Federal-State partnership program. States and jurisdictions design and implement a wide range of maternal and child health programs that meet national and state goals such as reducing infant mortality and the incidence of handicapping conditions among children, increasing the number of immunized children, increasing the number of children in low-income households who receive assessments and follow-up diagnostic and treatment services, providing access to comprehensive prenatal care for women; and facilitating the development of comprehensive, family-centered systems of care for children with special health care needs. The States are required by law to spend three dollars for every four federal dollars allocated.

Medicaid is a joint state and federal insurance program that is available only to certain low-income individuals and families who fit into an eligibility group that is recognized by federal and state law.

Medicare is a health insurance program for people age 65 or older, people under the age of 65 with certain disabilities, and people of all ages with end-stage renal disease.

Nursing care facilities & continuing care retirement communities are (a) freestanding private sector, local government, and state government establishments primarily engaged in providing inpatient nursing, rehabilitative, and continuous personal care services to persons requiring nursing care (including memory care); (b) continuing care retirement communities with on-site nursing care facilities; and (c) nursing facilities operated by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Note: hospital-based nursing home care is categorized as hospital care.

Other Federal Programs include federal general hospital/medical expenditures, Office of Economic Opportunity , Non-XIX federal, and pre-existing conditions insurance plans. The Office of Economic Opportunity and Non-XIX Federal are both programs that no longer exist. Pre-existing conditions insurance plans were created under the Affordable Care Act to provide a health coverage option for U.S. citizens and legal residents that have been without health coverage for at least six months, have a pre-existing condition, or have been denied health coverage because of their health condition.

Other Non-durable Medical Products include non-prescription drugs (products purchased over the counter such as analgesics and cough and allergy medications) and medical sundries (items such as surgical and medical instruments and surgical dressings, and diagnostic products such as needles and thermometers). Non-durable products generally last less than three years.

Other Private Revenues are commonly provided through philanthropy. Philanthropic support may be direct from individuals or may be obtained through philanthropic fund-raising organizations such as the United Way, or other foundations or corporations. Philanthropic revenues may be spent directly for patient care or may be held in an endowment fund to produce income to cover current expenses. For institutions such as hospitals and nursing homes, other private funds also include income from the operation of gift shops, cafeterias, parking lots, educational programs, and investment income.

Other State and Local Programs include temporary disability insurance, state and local subsidies to providers, and Non-XIX state and local funding. In general, all spending by state and local governments that is not reimbursed by the federal government (through benefit payments or grants-in-aid) nor by patients or their agents is treated as state and local expenditures. Temporary disability insurance includes medical care benefits provided to workers as a result of temporary non-occupational disability or short-term sickness - this benefit is currently offered solely in the state of New York. State and local subsidies are payments by the state and local government to hospitals, home health agencies, and other facilities owned by the state. Non-XIX state and local funding is a program that no longer exists. As with federal expenditures, payment for employee health insurance by state and local governments is included under Private Health Insurance expenditures.

Out-of-Pocket spending for health care consists of direct spending by consumers for health care goods and services. Included is the amount paid out-of-pocket for services not covered by insurance and the amount of coinsurance or deductibles required by Private Health Insurance and public programs such as Medicare and Medicaid (not paid by some other third party), as well as payments covered by health savings accounts. Premium payments for insurance plans such as Private Health Insurance and Medicare are not included in out-of-pocket spending.

Private Health Insurance plans include fully-insured and self-insured health plans. Fully-insured plans are health insurance plans where the insurance company takes on all of the risk of insuring the plan’s beneficiaries. Self-insured plans are offered by employers and other groups who directly assume the major cost and risk of health insurance for their employees or members, with some self-insured employers or groups bearing the entire risk. Self-insured groups can also insure against large claims by purchasing stop-loss insurance plans. Stop-loss coverage is a form of reinsurance that limits the amount an employer will have to pay for each person’s health care (individual limit) or for the total expense of the company (group limit). In addition, some self-insured groups’ contract with traditional carriers or third-party administrators for claims processing and other administrative services while other self-insured plans are self-administered.

Public Health Activity is where the government, in addition to funding the care of individual citizens, is involved in organizing and delivering publicly provided health services such as epidemiological surveillance, inoculations, immunization/vaccination services, disease prevention programs, the operation of public health laboratories, and other such functions. The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention account for the great majority of federal spending in this category. Substantial federal public health funding also comes from the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund and the Department of Homeland Security. State and local government public health activity expenditures are primarily for the operation of state and local health departments. Federal payments to state and local governments are deducted to avoid double counting.

School Health includes expenditures for students in primary and secondary public and private schools. This may include school nursing services, hearing and vision tests, as well as more comprehensive clinical services.

Structures are defined as the value of new construction put in place by the medical sector. This measure of the medical sector investment includes establishments engaged in providing health care, but does not include retail establishments that sell non-durable or durable medical goods. The construction measure includes new buildings; additions, alterations, and major replacements; mechanical and electric installations; and site preparation. The value of new construction put in place includes the cost of materials and labor, contractor profit, the cost of architectural and engineering work, those overhead and administrative costs chargeable to the project on the owner’s books, and interest and taxes paid during construction. Maintenance and repairs are excluded.

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) provides grants or outlays for program areas such as: Substance Abuse Treatment Capacity, Mental Health System Transformation, Strategic Prevention Framework, Co-Occurring Disorders, Seclusion & Restraint (elimination of), Older Adults, and HIV/AIDS & Hepatitis.

Vocational Rehabilitation program provides funds from the federal and state and local government for the rehabilitation of individuals with physical and mental impairments.

Workers' Compensation includes expenditures for medical benefits that are paid for by federal and state and local workers compensation programs. The U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Workers' Compensation Programs administers compensation programs which provide benefits to federal workers or their dependents that are injured at work or acquire an occupational disease. Non-federal workers’ compensation programs are financed almost exclusively by employers. All non-federal workers’ compensation programs are designed and administered by the state. Generally state laws require that all non-federal employers purchase insurance, either from commercial (private) insurers or from publicly operated state funds, or prove that they have the financial ability to carry their own risk.

Worksite Health Care represents expenditures directly provided by employers for their employees. This includes services such as those provided at an on-site health unit, such as the administration of flu shots and blood tests, or more extensive medical care such as onsite physician or hospital services.
