In an Ahead of Print article, Jacqueline Fiore and colleagues at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services release national health expenditure data for 2023–32.

Among other findings, the report projects that health spending growth is expected to outpace gross domestic product (GDP) growth, resulting in a health share of GDP that reaches 19.7 percent. 

National health expenditures are also expected to grow 7.5 percent in 2023, and in 2024, Medicaid enrollment is projected to decline significantly, while private health insurance enrollment is projected to increase.

For more on the findings, check out an episode of Health Affairs This Week featuring Michael Chernew.
