National health expenditures, fiscal year 1975.

According to preliminary estimates of the Nation's health spending in fiscal year 1975, health expenditures reached $118.5 billion, or $547 per person. Total health spending showed a 14-percent rise, significantly higher than the increase in 1974 when price controls in the health industry were in effect for most of the year. The acceleration of health spending during 1975 was accompanied by a slackening in the growth of the gross national product. Expenditures for this purpose, as a share of the GNP, thus rose significantly to 8.3 percent. Public spending grew two and one-half times as fast as private spending in 1975, mainly because of the continuing expansion of Medicare and Medicaid. Third parties financed an estimated two-thirds of all personal health care spending, with the government share 40 percent and that of private insurance 27 percent.

Health expenditure under multiple-priority pressures. A case study of Israel.

Since Israel's inception, it has faced many problems that have a high priority in the national consciousness. Problems of defense and national security are outstanding among these, and problems such as absorption of immigrants, education, land reclamation and water supply are next. This creates heavy pressure on scarce resources, and is reflected in the share of specific items in Government and national expenditures. An analysis of developments since the early 1950s shows how health expenditure has been given a high priority in the evaluation of the nation's needs on one hand, and has been influenced by defense needs and other pressing requests on the other hand. It may be concluded that health receives a fair share of the nation's resources, but, in view of the strained economic situation in the country, careful planning for future health services in coordination, cooperation and integration with other welfare services is essential.

National health expenditures, fiscal year 1977.

The Nation spent $163 billion for health care in fiscal year 1977 or $737 per person, according to preliminary figures compiled by the Health Care Financing Administration. This figure was 12 percent higher than spending for such purposes in the previous 12 months and represented an 8.8-percent share of the GNP. Public spending, which financed 42 percent of all health care in 1977, increased 11 percent while private spending rose 13 percent. Spending for hospital care went up 14 percent to $68.4 billion, and the total spent for physicians' services ($32.2 billion) reflected a 13-percent rise. Third-party payments financed 70 percent of all personal health care in the country.

National health expenditures, fiscal year 1976.

The Nation's spending for health in fiscal year 1976 reached $139.3 billion, or $638 per person, according to preliminary figures. This total was 14 percent higher than the $122.2 billion spent for health in 1975. In the 2 years since price controls on the health industry were lifted, expenditures have risen $33.0 billion (31 percent). During this period, the economy has grown at a relatively slow pace with the gross national product increasing 18 percent. Thus, the percentage of the GNP attributed to health care reached 8.6 percent in 1976. Public and private spending rose 16 percent and 13 percent, respectively, in 1976, with the rise in public expenditures appreciably below the 22-percent increase of 1975. Third-party financing affected slightly more than two-thirds of all personal health care--the private insurance share at 26 percent and that of government 40 percent.

Perinatal care and cost effectiveness: changes in health expenditures and birth outcome following the establishment of a nurse-midwife program.

Estimates of infant health status and expenditures for perinatal care are presented for periods of time before and after implementation of a nurse-midwife program in rural Georgia. As the program developed, the infant mortality rate of the four counties served by the program showed a decrease. Similarly, the target population (pregnant women of low to moderate income who had no private physician) experienced decreases in the rate of neonatal mortality, low birthweight, and short gestational age. Estimated expenditures for perinatal care in the four counties decreased as well. These results are examined from the perspective of the National Health Planning and Resources Development Act of 1974 and the utility of using an epidemiologic approach for estimating the output of health services in terms of health status is emphasized.
