21 2014 National Health Expenditure Accounts: Summary National Health Expenditures reached $3.0 trillion, or $9,523 per person in 2014 National Health Expenditures represented a 17.5 percent share of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Health spending grew faster at 5.3% in 2014 after several years of low growth Return to faster growth and increased share of GDP were largely influenced by the coverage expansions of the ACA and rapid prescription drug spending growth

22 National Health Expenditure Projections,

23 Major Findings National Health Expenditure Projections, For , health spending is projected to grow at an average rate of 5.8 percent per year due to the combined effects of the Affordable Care Act s (ACA s) major coverage expansions, stronger expected economic growth, and population aging. Although projected health spending growth is faster than in the recent past, it is still slower than the growth experienced over the last three decades prior to this most recent recession. Given the ACA s coverage expansions and premium subsidies together with population aging, federal, state and local governments are projected to finance 47 percent of national health spending by 2024 (from 45 percent in 2014). Health spending is projected to grow 1.1 percent faster than Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per year over this period; the health share of GDP is expected to rise from 17.5 percent in 2014 to 19.6 percent by 2024.

24 NHE Projections Methods Projections for were developed using actuarial and econometric modeling techniques, by type of service/good, payer, and sponsor. Projections consistent with the 2015 Medicare Trustees Report, which incorporates recently enacted legislation that affects future Medicare physician fee schedule updates. Impacts of ACA coverage expansions were estimated using the most recent and updated version of the Office of the Actuary Health Reform Model (OHRM).

25 Health Insurance Enrollment and the Uninsured Health Insurance Enrollment (in Millions) Historical Estimates Projection Private health insurance Medicaid Medicare Uninsured SOURCE: CMS, Office of the Actuary, National Health Statistics Group.

26 Key Findings for 2015 Projected growth by Payer Medicaid: growth faster than other payers due to coverage expansion. PHI: faster growth than NHE due to continued Marketplace implementation. Medicare: slower growth than other payers related to slowdown in spending on prescription drugs and physician and clinical services. 8.2% 5.3% 6.4% 4.7% NHE Private Health Insurance Medicaid Medicare SOURCE: CMS, Office of the Actuary, National Health Statistics Group

27 Key Findings for 2015 Projected Growth by Sector Drugs: faster growth than other services in 2015, but slower growth than 2014 due to lower costs associated with expensive specialty treatments for hepatitis C. Hospital: faster growth than NHE and faster growth than 2014, driven by coverage expansions. Physician: slower growth than other services in 2015 as temporary Medicaid payment increases to primary care providers expire. 7.6% 5.3% 5.1% 5.4% 4.1% NHE Personal Health Care Hospital SOURCE: CMS, Office of the Actuary, National Health Statistics Group. Physician & Clinical Services Prescription Drugs

28 Key Findings for Average Annual Growth For Major Payers Medicare: faster growth than other payers because of expectations that growth in the use and intensity of services will return closer to historic norms. Medicaid: slower growth than other payers due to slower enrollment growth. PHI: slower growth than NHE due to more employers anticipated to shift toward high-deductible health plans, increased utilization of narrow networks, and the implementation of the excise tax on high-cost employer-based insurance plans. 5.3% 6.3% 5.1% 5.1% NHE Medicare Medicaid Private Health Insurance SOURCE: CMS, Office of the Actuary, National Health Statistics Group

29 Key Findings for Average Annual Growth For Major Payers Medicare: faster growth than other payers because of continued strong enrollment growth and faster per enrollee spending growth as a result of aging of previously enrolled beneficiaries. Medicaid: slower growth than NHE due to enrollment growth, despite increased use associated with aged and disabled beneficiaries. PHI: slower growth than other payers as enrollees continue to shift into Medicare and out of PHI, despite faster projected economic growth. 6.2% 7.9% 5.9% 5.6% NHE Medicare Medicaid Private Health Insurance SOURCE: CMS, Office of the Actuary, National Health Statistics Group
