Fastest Growth in Public Healthcare Spending
Veterans
Over the past 20 years, the fastest area of healthcare spending is in Veterans Affairs. This is due to both inflation of costs as well as the increase of the number of Veterans seeking healthcare due to the Global War on Terror.
Veterans spending costs are up 5x during this period.
Can you guess the slowest growing area of healthcare expenditures.
