The US healthcare amounts to approximately 5.8% of its whole economy in 2015 in recently published statistics. This is because the United States Government funds two thirds of the whole US health care system. The fraction the government pays come from tax expenditures which would approximately amount to $1.9 trillion. With the Affordable Care Act being pushed through, these numbers would rise up further in the year 2024. America is one of the countries that are paying high amounts in terms of healthcare along with countries like Canada and the UK.
