CBO: Geographic Variation in Health Care Spending,

by on

Geographic Variation in Health Care Spending, February 2008 (39 pages, PDF)

  • This paper by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) examines the amount of and trends in geographic variation in health care spending, and the root causes of that variation. It also examines the relationship between spending and quality of care, and it discusses what those findings imply about how health care is produced in the
    United States and how it could be made more efficient. The paper focuses primarily on spending in the Medicare program because there are more data available about the cost of providing health care to Medicare beneficiaries than there are for other populations. Also, as the largest federal health care program, Medicare is highly relevant
    to and directly influenced by federal policy.”
