Highest Healthcare Spending
Understand highest healthcare spending: what the measure counts, how to read it and where to check the source.
Health spending can be expressed as money per person or as a share of GDP. The first measures resources per resident; the second measures the sector's size relative to the economy. Neither directly measures health outcomes. A spending share can rise because health spending increases or because the rest of the economy contracts.
