Healthcare Costs Continue to Rise
After the start of COVID-19 pandemic the cost of healthcare begin extremely increase. Overall healthcare costs — including all private and public spending — are anticipated to rise by an average of 5.5 percent per year over the next decade — growing from $3.5 trillion in 2017 to $6 trillion by 2027. Healthcare spending is projected to grow faster than the economy, increasing from 17.9 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2017 to 19.4 percent of GDP in 2027.
To date thanks to pandemic there are millions of unemployed across America, but total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 661,000 in September, and the unemployment rate declined to 7.9 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported.
These improvements in the labor market reflect the continued resumption of economic activity that had been curtailed due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and efforts to contain it. In September, notable job gains occurred in leisure and hospitality, in retail trade, in health care and social assistance, and in professional and business services. Employment in government declined over the month, mainly in state and local government education.
Besides coronavirus, there are many possible reasons for this increase in healthcare prices:
- The introduction of new, innovative healthcare technology can lead to better, more expensive procedures and products.
- The complexity of the U.S. healthcare system can lead to administrative waste in the insurance and provider payment systems.
- The consolidation of hospitals can lead to a lack of competition or even a hospital monopoly, granting providers the opportunity to increase prices.
