This chart collection compares health care spending in the U.S. and other industrialized countries, including data on health spending per person and the growth rate in recent years and over time. Wealthy countries, including the U.S., tend to spend more per person on health care and related expenses than lower-income countries. However, relative to the size of its economy, the U.S. spends a greater amount on health care than other high-income nations.
