Hospitals and the U.S. economy

Hospital expenditures in the United States have risen from about 680 billion U.S. dollars in 2009 to over 800 billion U.S. dollars in 2014.

Community hospitals are not part of a university, health systems, or chains within private hospitals. Larger hospital systems and medical centers are becoming more common as they tend to generate larger revenues and offer a broader spectrum of services. However, community hospitals have the advantage of developing more effective care models that are centralized around the community that they serve. Their small sizes also allows for easier and quicker redesigns when necessary to meet patient needs.

Community hospitals in the country have seen an increase in the total number of admissions from 31.6 million people in 1997 to 33.1 million people in 2014. In the same year, the average stay at a community hospital cost about 12,000 U.S. dollars.

BackgroundFederal policy impact analyses in the United States do not incorporate the potential economic benefits of adolescent mental health policies. Understanding the extent to which economic benefits may offset policy costs would support more effective policymaking. This study estimates the relationship between adolescent psychological distress and later health and economic outcomes and uses these estimates to determine the potential economic effects of a hypothetical policy.Methods and findingsThis analysis estimated the relationship between psychological distress in those aged 15 to 17 years in 2000 and economic and health outcomes approximately 10 years later, accounting for an array of explanatory variables using machine learning–enabled methods. The cohort was from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth 1997 and nationally representative of those aged 12 to 18 years in 1997. The cohort included 3,343 individuals under age 18 years in round 4 who completed the Mental Health Inventory-5 (MHI-5). Round 1 captured 50 explanatory variables that covered domains of potential confounders, including basic demographics, neighborhood environment, family resources, family processes, physical health, school quality, and academic skills. The exposure included a binary variable of clinically significant psychological distress (MHI-5 score of less than or equal to 3) and a categorical variable of symptom severity on the MHI-5. Outcomes covered domains of employment, income, total assets at age 30 years, education, and health approximately 10 years later.Forty-seven percent of the cohort were black and Hispanic, and 4.4% had past-month clinically significant psychological distress. Past-month clinically significant psychological distress in adolescence led to a 6-percentage-point (95% confidence interval [CI] [−0.08, −0.03]) reduction in past-year labor force participation 10 years later and $5,658 (95% CI [−6,772, −4,545]) USD fewer past-year wages earned. We used these results to model the labor market impacts of a hypothetical policy that expanded access to mental health preventive care and reached 10% of youth who would have otherwise developed clinically significant psychological distress. We found that the hypothetical policy could lead to $52 (95% credible interval [51,54]) billion USD in federal budget benefits over 10 years from labor supply impacts alone. This study faced limitations, including potential unmeasured confounding, missing data, and challenges to generalizability.ConclusionsOur findings showed the impacts of adolescent mental health policies on the federal budget and found potentially large effects on the economy if policies achieve population-level change.

As of October 2024, there were 133.89 million full-time employees in the United States. This is a slight decrease from the previous month, when there were 134.15 million full-time employees. The impact COVID-19 on employment In December 2019, the COVID-19 virus began its spread across the globe. Since being classified as a pandemic, the virus caused a global health crisis that has taken the lives of millions of people worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic changed many facets of society, most significantly, the economy. In the first years, many businesses across all industries were forced to shut down, with large numbers of employees being laid off. The economy continued its recovery in 2022 with the nationwide unemployment rate returning to a more normal 3.4 percent as of April 2023. Unemployment benefits Because so many people in the United States lost their jobs, record numbers of individuals applied for unemployment insurance for the first time. As an early response to this nation-wide upheaval, the government issued relief checks and extended the benefits paid by unemployment insurance. In May 2020, the amount of unemployment insurance benefits paid rose to 23.73 billion U.S. dollars. As of December 2022, this value had declined to 2.24 billion U.S. dollars.

The United States can cut its heat-trapping emissions rapidly—in line with science-informed goals and its international commitments—and at the same time secure significant economic and public health benefits, according to a Union of Concerned Scientists modeling analysis. Achieving these ambitious—and necessary—benefits will require bold, transformative change across institutions, society, sectors, and the economy. The nation needs clean energy policies beyond the Inflation Reduction Act and other current federal and state policies, as well as new policies that drive a fast, fair phaseout of fossil fuels. Policymakers should take actions appropriate to the urgency of the climate crisis and pursue equitable, just policies that center the well-being of people and communities.
