Demographic and epidemiological transitions are changing the disease burden from infectious to noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in low- and middle-income countries, including Bangladesh. Given the rising NCD-related health burdens and growing share of household out-of-pocket (OOP) spending in total health expenditure in Bangladesh, we compared the country’s trends and socioeconomic disparities in financial risk protection (FRP) among households with and without NCDs.

Health care spending in America accounts for a larger share of GDP than in any other country Health spending in the U.S., at about 17.5% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2010, is projected to grow to about 20% by 2020. Despite the incredible investment America continues to make in health care, 16.7% of people in the U.S. (50.7 million people, up from 46.3 million the previous year) lacked health care coverage for the entire year of 2009. For some, insurance was unavailable or unaffordable. In other cases, a lack of insurance was due to a personal decision not to pay for it.

The transition to a value-based payment system offers pathologists the opportunity to play an increased role in population health by improving outcomes and safety as well as reducing costs. Although laboratory testing itself accounts for a small portion of health-care spending, laboratory data have significant downstream effects in patient management as well as diagnosis. Pathologists currently are heavily engaged in precision medicine, use of laboratory and pathology test results (including autopsy data) to reduce diagnostic errors, and play leading roles in diagnostic management teams.

This paper uses annual data for Taiwan from 1970 to 2003 to examine the factors affecting medical expenses. The results are as follows: (1) after the implementation of the National Health Insurance system, the average per capita health care spending increased significantly, by about 16%. (2) The income elasticity of health care spending is greater than 1, which means that it is a luxury good. This is in contrast with the findings of other Taiwanese studies, but supports the results in the foreign literature.

In addition, providing coverage for children today means potentially spending less for adult health care down the road. Children who receive regular check-ups and are taught to embrace preventive care have an improved chance of becoming healthy adults with medical needs less expensive than what they would be otherwise. For example, an obese child may receive family-centered nutritional counseling to assist in learning better eating habits and other lifestyle changes to reduce his or her weight, potentially preventing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Unsustainable growth in medical spending has sparked interest in the question of whether prevention saves money and could be the answer to the health care crisis. But the question misses the point. What should matter (for both prevention and treatment services) is value -- the health benefit per dollar invested. We discuss a package of effective clinical preventive services that improves health at a relatively low cost. Cost-effectiveness should also be examined for disease care, the major driver of health spending.
