“Rising health care spending slows; Report says more go without in recession” states:
“Health care spending [in 2008] outpaced the 2.6% growth in the overall economy, accounting for 16.2% of the gross domestic product compared to 15.95 in 2007. It was 13.6% in 2000.”
WATCHDOG: Where will it end? The health care industry has become a parasite rather than a salvation. LGH take note. Growl!
