Some other interesting numbers...

About ten percent of people account for 63% of spending on health services; 21% of health spending is for only 1% of the population.  At the other end of the spectrum, the one-half of the population with the lowest health spending accounts for just over 3% of spending.

Those are some awful statistics...

Probably anyway... I can't make much sense of it.   The 50% only spending 3% i understand... because any given year, most people are healthy. 

That 10% spending 63% is harder to reconcile.  I wonder who they are, and why they spend so much... and how much these stats differ from other countries.

 

10% of the country is repsonsible for spending 10% of the countries GDP on healthcare.  It's interesting to say the least.

I'll have to do more digging.  It's why i love the internet though... you can know practically anything and all it takes is effort.
