Book Description
The Household Component of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS-HC) is designed to produce estimates of the health care use, expenditures, sources of payment, and insurance coverage among the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population. While the MEPS-HC was designed primarily to ensure reliable estimates at the national and regional level for a large variety of population subgroups, the survey design permits estimation with reasonable precision for certain measures in many states. Many factors can influence health care expenses in a particular state, including the demographic, socioeconomic, and health status characteristics of the population. Further, the prevalence and types of health insurance coverage in a state can impact access to care, the level of expenditures, and the extent to which different sources finance health care services. This Statistical Brief presents variations from the national average in health care expenses for the 10 most populous states in 2006. The Brief examines selected measures for the U.S. population, including 1) the proportion of the population with selected types of expenses, 2) the average amount of expenses, and 3) the distribution of payments for health care expenses across various sources. The 10 states presented in this Brief together comprised just over half of the U.S. population in 2006 and accounted for a similar share of the nation's health care expenses. The states are displayed in the order of population size. Only those estimates with statistically significant differences from the national average using a multiple comparison procedure at the .05 significance level are noted in the text.

Book Description
Prescription drugs account for a large portion of health care expenditures. In 2006, expenditures for prescription drugs among the entire U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population accounted for 21.6 percent of total health care expenditures. In 1996, prescription drug expenditures accounted for only 11.9 percent of total health care expenditures. While prescription drug expenditures are a significant portion of total health care expenditures, the percentage of individuals that have them, as well as the average expenditure amount and the proportion paid by each source can vary considerably across states. Using data from the Household Component of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS-HC), this Statistical Brief presents estimates of prescription drug expenditures for persons under age 65 in the 10 largest states for the year 2006 and compares these to the national average. The focus is on persons under age 65 to limit the effect of age differences between the state populations on their prescription drug use differences. Only those estimates with statistically significant differences from the national average using a multiple comparison procedure at the .05 level are noted in the text.

In 2006, expenditures for dental care among the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population were 7.4 percent of total health care expenditures. The mean dental expense per person with an expense in 2006 was $607. This Statistical Brief presents estimates based on data from the Household Component of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS-HC) on the use, expenditures, and sources of payments for dental expenditures for persons in the community population in 2006 for the 10 largest states, and compares the results to the national average in 2006. Only those estimates with statistically significant differences from the national average using a multiple comparison procedure at the .05 significance level are noted in the text.

Book Description
Estimates of the health care expenses of the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized (community) population are critical to policymakers and others concerned with access to medical care and the cost and sources of payment for that care. In 2006, health care expenses among the U.S. community population totaled $1.034 trillion. Medical care expenses, however, are highly concentrated among a relatively small proportion of individuals in the community population. As previously reported in 1996, the top 1 percent of the U.S. population accounted for 28 percent of the total health care expenditures and the top 5 percent for more than half. More recent data have revealed that over time there has been some decrease in the extent of this concentration at the upper tail of the expenditure distribution (Yu and Ezzati-Rice, 2005). Using information from the Household Component of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS-HC) for 2005 and 2006, this report provides detailed estimates of the persistence in the level of health care expenditures over time. Studies that examine the persistence of high levels of expenditures over time are essential to help discern the factors most likely to drive health care spending and the characteristics of the individuals who incur them. The MEPS-HC data are particularly well suited for measuring these trends in the concentration of expenditures over time. All differences between estimates discussed in the text are statistically significant at the 0.05 level unless otherwise noted.

Book Description
Estimates of health care expenses for the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized (community) population are critical to policymakers and others concerned with access to medical care and the cost and sources of payment for that care. Over the two year period 2005-2006, health care expenses among the U.S. community population totaled approximately $2.1 trillion. Medical care expenses, however, are highly concentrated among a relatively small proportion of individuals in the community population. In 2005, 1 percent of the population accounted for 23.3 percent of total health care expenditures, and in 2006, the top 1 percent accounted for 21.1 percent of the total expenditures. Using information from the Household Component of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS-HC) for 2005 and 2006, this report provides detailed estimates of the concentration of health care expenditures over a two year time interval. Studies that examine the concentration of high levels of expenditures over extended time periods are essential to help discern the factors most likely to drive health care spending and the characteristics of the individuals who incur them. The MEPS-HC data are particularly well suited for measuring these trends in the concentration of expenditures over time. All differences between estimates discussed in the text are statistically significant at the 0.05 level unless otherwise noted.
