Countries covered: United States

The consumers of health care drive one of the nation’s largest and most important industries. Understanding who those consumers are, what they want, and how their wants and needs are changing is vital to health insurance companies, hospitals, doctors, pharmaceutical companies, government policy makers, and every business that provides its employees with health insurance. Fortunately, there are enough statistics collected and published about health care consumers to answer almost any question. The problem is not whether numbers exist, but finding and making sense of them.

The third edition of American Health: Demographics and Spending of Health Care Consumers brings together in one volume the many sources of data on health care consumers, providing a comprehensive look at the demand for health care. With more than 300 tables, American Health provides a comprehensive look at the demographics of health care consumers and the services they use, ranging from fish oil supplements to mammograms, from doctor visits to birth control pills. It includes detailed health care spending data from the federal government’s highly respected Consumer Expenditure Survey and the less wellknown Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. It presents the latest data on health care coverage and the reasons why people do not have health insurance. It has the latest information on the growing girth of the population, in pounds and percentages. It examines teen attitudes toward sex and teen and adult use of contraception. It explores the changing attitudes of Americans toward the role of the federal government in providing health care in the United States.
