Description: |
|
This chartbook from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) shows health care spending for the civilian noninstitutionalized (community) population in 1999. It presents data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS).
The chartbook is organized into four sections. Section 1 is a summary of national expenses for the community population by amount, type of service, and source of payment. Section 2 presents information on non-elderly (under age 65) and elderly people living in the community, two groups that have quite different health care expenses. Section 3 shows average health care expenses for persons categorized by age, insurance status, income, and race/ethnicity. Section 4 shows the extent to which selected populations rely on different sources to pay for their health care. |
