In 1970, some 7.5 billion U.S. dollars were spent on the Medicare program in the United States. Fifty plus years later, this figure stood at 1,037 billion U.S. dollars. This statistic depicts total Medicare spending from 1970 to 2023.

Increasing Medicare coverage

Medicare is the federal health insurance program in the U.S. for the elderly and those with disabilities. In the U.S., the share of the population with any type of health insurance has increased to over 90 percent in the past decade. As of 2019, approximately 18 percent of the U.S. population was covered by Medicare in particular.

Increasing Medicare costs

Medicare costs are forecasted to continue increasing over time, with outlays rising to a predicted 1.78 trillion U.S. dollars by 2031 as the population continues to age. Certain diseases of old age, such as Alzheimer’s disease, are increasing in prevalence in the U.S., which will reflect on healthcare costs for the elderly. In 2021, Alzheimer's disease was estimated to cost Medicare and Medicaid around 239 billion U.S. dollars in care costs; by 2050, this number is projected to climb to 798 billion dollars.

The Medicaid by Drug dataset presents information on spending for covered outpatient drugs prescribed to beneficiaries enrolled in Medicaid by physicians and other healthcare professionals. The dataset focuses on average spending per dosage unit and change in average spending per dosage unit over time. Units refer to the drug unit in the lowest dispensable amount. It also includes spending information for manufacturer(s) of the drugs as well as consumer-friendly information of drug uses and clinical indications. Drug spending metrics for Medicaid represent the total amount reimbursed by both Medicaid and non-Medicaid entities to pharmacies for the drug. Medicaid drug spending contains both the Federal and State reimbursement and is inclusive of any applicable dispensing fees. In addition, this total is not reduced or affected by Medicaid rebates paid to the states.

Medicare and Medicaid are programs that provide free or subsidized medical and health-related services. Medicaid eligibility varies from state to state but is geared toward people with low incomes. Meanwhile, Medicare covers almost everyone 65 or older, as well as a subset of people on Social Security disability and some people with permanent kidney failure. Funding for Medicare and Medicaid is part of the mandatory spending within the annual White House budget. The data for this report, including forecasts, are sourced from the Office of Management and Budget and presented in chained 2017 dollars.

In 2021, Medicare spent an average of more than 13,139 U.S. dollars per enrollee in New York, while the average for the United States was 11,080 U.S. dollars per enrollee. This statistic depicts the leading ten U.S. states based on Medicare spending per enrollee in 2021.

As of February 2023, 63 percent of elderly people surveyed mentioned that the proposed cuts to Medicare Advantage will result in increased healthcare costs, while another 58 percent reported their health care benefits will be reduced. This statistic illustrates the share of the opinion of U.S. senior citizens on how the proposed funding cuts to Medicare Advantage (MA) would impact them personally as of 2023.

The United States has the highest expenditure on health care per capita globally. However, the U.S. has an unique way of paying for their health care where a majority of the expenditure falls upon private insurances. In FY 2024, around one third of all health expenditure is paid by private insurance. Public insurance programs Medicare and Medicaid accounted for 22 and 17 percent, respectively, of health expenditure during that same year. U.S. health care system Globally health spending has been increasing among most countries. However, the U.S. has the highest public and private per capita health expenditure among all countries globally, followed by Switzerland. As of 2020, annual health care costs per capita in the United States totaled to over 12 thousand U.S. dollars, a significant amount considering the average U.S. personal income is around 54 thousand dollars. Out of pocket costs in the U.S. Aside from overall high health care costs for U.S. residents, the total out-of-pocket costs for health care have been on the rise. In recent years, the average per capita out-of-pocket health care payments have exceeded one thousand dollars. Physician services, dental services and prescription drugs account for the largest proportion of out-of-pocket expenditures for U.S. residents.

2022 saw the largest expenditures on Medicaid in U.S. history. At that time about 824 billion U.S. dollars were expended on the Medicaid public health insurance program that aims to provide affordable health care options to low income residents and people with disabilities. Medicaid was signed into law in 1965. By 1975 around 13 billion U.S. dollars were spent on the program.

Groups covered by Medicaid

There are several components of the Medicaid health insurance program. The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) was started in 1997 to provide health coverage to families and children that could not afford care. As of 2021, children represented the largest distribution of Medicaid enrollees. Despite having the largest proportion of enrollees, those that were enrolled in Medicaid as children had the lowest spending per enrollee. As of 2021, disabled Medicaid enrollees had the highest spending per enrollee.

Medicaid expenditures

Currently, Medicaid accounts for 19 percent of all health care expenditure in the United States. Expenditures on Medicaid programs vary among the U.S. states and depend heavily on whether Medicaid expansion was accepted after the Affordable Care Act was enacted. California and New York are the top states with the highest Medicaid expenditures. It is projected that Medicaid expenditure will continue to increase at both the state and federal levels.

Medicaid continues to provide comprehensive long-term care in the United States. In 2022, the program was estimated to have paid for 34.2 percent of all home health care and nearly 30 percent of nursing home care. In addition, Medicaid covered over 58 percent of other health, residential, and personal care, which includes payments for intermediate care facilities and other home- and community-based services.

Health care spending in the U.S. Medicaid expenditure accounted for around 16 percent of all U.S. health expenditures in 2021. Overall, health spending in the United States totaled 4.1 trillion U.S. dollars in 2020 – hospital care continues to be the largest spending category. Around 1.3 trillion U.S. dollars was spent on hospital care in 2020, and expenditures are projected to continue on an upward trajectory.

The high price of hospital care Medicare and Medicaid spend significant amounts of money on national health services, and for both programs, hospital care is the largest expense category. Hospital care spending by both Medicare and Medicaid grew by around 20 percent between 2013 and 2019. During the same period, private health insurance spending in this service category accelerated, rising by approximately 90 billion U.S. dollars.

This statistic shows personal health care expenditure by source of funds in the United States, comparing the years 1990 and 2018. In 1990, some 70 billion U.S. dollars of personal health care expenditure was funded by the Medicaid program.

Personal health care expenditure in the United States

Health care facilities in the U.S. are mostly considered part of the private sector. The United States' total health care expenditures were over 3.6 trillion U.S. dollars in 2018. Globally, the U.S. spent the most on health care per capita as well as, as a percentage of its GDP. It has been ranked as one of the least efficient health care systems in the world. Health care expenditure includes a variety of services and products such as hospital care, physician and clinical services, dental, home health care, and nursing care facilities.

Personal health care expenditure in the United States has skyrocketed from 1990 to 2018. Funds for health care are still primarily derived from private health insurance and governmental health plans. A slowing growth in out-of-pocket payments can indicate higher cost-sharing and increased enrollment in consumer-directed health plans. In 1990, private health insurance funded some 205 billion U.S. dollars of health care services and increased to over one trillion U.S. dollars by 2017. Health care expenditure through private insurance has grown to over 35 percent of total personal health costs. The percentage of U.S. citizens covered by Medicare has increased from the 1990s until today. Medicare is a national social insurance program through the U.S. federal government which guarantees health insurance for citizens over the age of 64. Medicare expenditure totaled 697 billion U.S. dollars in 2018.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services estimate that prescription drug expenditure in the United States will reach around 460 billion U.S. dollars in 2024. This amount includes only retail drug spending, excluding nonretail. Estimations of drug spending can vary by investigating organization. For the U.S., among the most relevant drug spending calculations are provided by CMS, ASPE (Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation), and pharmaceutical market researcher IQVIA. High drug prices in the U.S.The United States is the country with the highest total drug spending, and also with the highest per capita pharmaceuticals spending among developed countries. This is mostly connected to higher drug prices in the United States. For example, the price for the blockbuster drug Humira was almost three times higher in the United States than in Germany in 2017. But whereas in other countries, governments more or less directly control drug prices, the U.S. leaves drug pricing to market competition. As a consequence, the U.S. market is the most profitable for pharmaceutical companies. Where the money is spentNearly half of all Americans have taken at least one prescription medicine within the preceding month. The therapeutic areas where spending is the highest are ‘traditionally’ to be found among antidiabetics, oncologics, autoimmune, and respiratory diseases. Based on number of prescriptions filled, antihypertensives, pain reliever, and mental health drugs are the leading classes.

For 2022, the maximum out-of-pocket (MOOP) amount a Medicare Advantage beneficiary will pay is 5,153 U.S. dollars. This is nearly a third less than the MOOP limit set by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services that year, which was 7,550 U.S. dollars. MOOP is the most a beneficiary must pay out-of-pocket (including deductibles, co-pays and co-insurance) for covered services in a plan year. This statistic shows the average Medicare Advantage maximum out-of-pocket amount for 2022, by plan type (in U.S. dollars).

Total Medicaid spending surpassed 804 billion U.S. dollars in 2022. The state of California had the highest expenditure throughout the year, followed by New York and Texas.

Federal government helps poorer states Both the federal and state governments fund the Medicaid health care program, but at least 50 percent of the costs incurred by states are matched by the federal government. The exact percentage varies by state because the matching rate was designed so that poorer states receive a larger share of program costs from the federal government. The states of Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, spent the least on Medicaid costs in 2021.

Funding share of states set to increase Under the Affordable Care Act, states have the choice to expand their Medicaid programs to cover nearly all low-income Americans under age 65. For states that implemented the expansion, the federal government paid 100 percent of the state costs for all newly eligible adults from 2014 to 2016. The new matching rate has slowly declined since and reached 90 percent in 2020, which means states have to pick up ten percent of the bill. Governors are concerned about the rise in costs, and state expenditure is projected to increase by 50 percent between 2020 and 2027.

The COVID-19 Claims Reimbursement to Health Care Providers and Facilities for Testing and Treatment of the Uninsured Program provides reimbursements on a rolling basis directly to eligible health care entities for claims that are attributed to the testing and/or treatment of COVID-19 for uninsured individuals. The program is funded via the: Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) Relief Fund, which includes funds received from the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund, as appropriated in the FFCRCA (P.L. 116-127) and the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (P.L. 116-139) (PPPHCEA), which each appropriated $1 billion to reimburse health care entities for conducting COVID-19 testing for the uninsured; and the Provider Relief Fund, which includes funds received from the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund, as appropriated in the Coronavirus Air, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (P.L. 116-136), which provides $100 billion in relief funds, including to hospitals and other health care entities on the front lines of the COVID-19 response and the PPPHCEA to reimburse health care entities for treating uninsured individuals with a COVID-19 diagnosis. The PPPHCEA appropriated an additional $75 billion in relief funds. Within the Provider Relief Fund, a portion of the funding will be used to support healthcare-related expenses attributable to the treatment of uninsured individuals with COVID-19. Health care entities that have conducted COVID-19 testing of uninsured individuals for COVID-19 or provided treatment to uninsured individuals with a COVID-19 diagnosis on or after February 4, 2020, can request claims reimbursement through the program electronically and will be reimbursed generally at Medicare rates, subject to available funding. This dataset represents the list of health care entities who have agreed to the Terms and Conditions and received claims reimbursement for COVID-19 testing of uninsured individuals and/or treatment for uninsured individuals with a COVID-19 diagnosis, as of January 6, 2021.

Health expenditure in the U.S. has been a hotly debated topic among political parties, especially on the verge of presidential elections. Health expenditures in the U.S. have been increasing over time and are projected to keep increasing. As of 2022, the U.S. spent a total of 4.4 trillion U.S. dollars on healthcare.

U.S. health expenditure in comparison

The U.S has some of the highest expenditures for health care in the world. With a total health spending of roughly 17 percent of the country’s GDP, the U.S. has far surpassed the country with the second highest health expenditure as a share of GDP, Germany. The United States, despite having a mixed method of healthcare financing and insurances, also has one of the highest shares of domestic governmental health expenditures.

U.S. health care payers

There are several different governmental and non-governmental agencies that are responsible for health care funding and payments in the United States. Currently, private insurance and Medicare are the two largest payers of U.S. health care. Direct health care costs are not the only things that these payers are responsible for. They may also be partly responsible for prescription drug costs. Again, private insurance and Medicare are the two largest payers of prescription drug costs in the U.S. Among all the payers of health care costs in the U.S., Medicare has experienced the highest level of health spending increases in recent years.

The largest amount of federal drug control spending was reported for FY 2023 with some 44.2 billion U.S. dollars. The requested funding 2025 is slightly higher. This statistic depicts the total federal drug control spending in the United States from FY 2012 to FY 2025, in million U.S. dollars.

U.S. drug control spending

In the United States, around half of the requested budget for federal drug control spending in 2025 was requested for treatment of substance use disorders; the remaining budget was distributed amongst various governmental departments for prevention, interdiction, and law enforcement. In particular, the largest amount of drug control treatment funding in 2024 within the Department of Health and Human Services was spent by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, followed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

Drug control and the opioid epidemic

The misuse of prescription drugs and the opioid epidemic are a major focus of U.S. drug control strategies and spending. In the U.S., the top controlled prescription drugs distributed are hydrocodone and oxycodone, both potentially addictive opioid analgesics that can be misused and sold illegally. In 2010-2019, efforts to reduce illegal sales of opioid narcotics in the U.S. have managed to reduce the amount of opioids diverted from the legal market by over half. Unfortunately, misusing opioids and synthetic variants such as heroin can be life-threatening; death rates due to opioid overdoses are continuing to rise.

Market Dynamics of the Body Dryer Market

Key Drivers of the Body Dryer Market

Increasing Disposable Income will help the body dryers market grow.

Consumer behavior is significantly impacted by increases in disposable income. According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), personal income grew by $60.0 billion in December, or 0.3% per month.

(source:https://www.bea.gov/news/2024/personal-income-and-outlays-december-2023).

Furthermore, there was a $51.8 billion rise in disposable personal income or a 0.3% gain. Consumer spending expanded by 0.7%, or $133.9 billion, while personal outlays increased by $134.7 billion, or 0.7%.

(Source:https://www.bea.gov/news/2024/personal-income-and-outlays-december-2023).

Furthermore, when disposable income per capita rises, people have more money to spend on products like body dryers that enhance comfort and convenience. This trend is impacting market growth in industrialized nations where economic stability allows for higher discretionary expenditure Furthermore, because consumers are prepared to pay more for durable, superior products that promote greater comfort and an enhanced personal care experience, body dryers are regarded as luxury items. Therefore, the global body dryer market value is rising as a result of consumers' increasing ability to spend money on luxuries that improve their quality of life.

Increasing Healthcare Expenditure can help the market to grow.

A broader trend towards improved health and wellness standards, which include good personal cleanliness practices, is reflected in the growing expense of healthcare. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the National Health Expenditure (NHE) grew by 4.1% to $4.5 trillion in 2022, or $13,493 per person, or 17.3% of GDP.

(Source:https://www.cms.gov/data-research/statistics-trends-and-reports/national-health-expenditure-data/nhe-fact-sheet).

Medicare spending grew by 5.9% to $944.3 billion, or 21% of the entire NHE. In addition, more healthcare spending suggests a stronger emphasis on illness prevention, which emphasizes the importance of good hygiene.

(Source:https://www.cms.gov/data-research/statistics-trends-and-reports/national-health-expenditure-data/nhe-fact-sheet).

In addition, body dryers help with this by providing a drying technique that lowers the likelihood of skin infections and irritation brought on by moisture. This makes them especially desirable in healthcare environments like hospitals and senior living centers, which boosts the body dryer market's revenue.

Restraint of the Body Dryer Market

The body dryer market can be hampered due to, high costs and product recalls.

The market for body dryers can be hampered by sporadic product recalls, which can erode consumer confidence and brand reputation. Additionally, the product's niche nature limits market penetration, making it challenging for makers to reach a larger market. Body Dryers' high price point may turn off potential buyers and limit their accessibility to a wider range of consumers. Additionally, the lack of product standardization may cause problems with other bathroom fixtures and raise questions about how simple it will be to install and operate them. Since conventional towels and electric blow dryers are more economical a...
