Income, Insurance, And Technology: Why Does Health Spending Outpace Economic Growth
Health Affairs, 09/15/09

Smith S et al. – The authors estimate that medical technology explains 27–48 percent of health spending growth since 1960—a smaller percentage than earlier estimates.

The contribution of insurance is likely to differ, with less of a push from increasing generosity of coverage and more of a push from changes in provider payment.
