"Total U.S. health-care spending hit $2.1 trillion in 2006, a 6.7 percent rise from 2005, analysts with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) said. That was up from a 6.5 percent increase in 2005 and amounted to $7,026 per person...That is one dollar in every six spent on sick care.
The share of the U.S. economy devoted to health care remained steady in 2006 at about 16 percent of gross domestic product, the same level as the previous two years."
