Healthcare Dollar Breakdown
The amount of money the U.S. spends on healthcare is so mind numbingly large, that AHIP created the “healthcare dollar” image to help us all out. The healthcare dollar takes the whole medical spending budget and puts it into a picture of a dollar bill, separated into sections of costs (see picture below). The breakdown is helpful because it provides a visual of how medical expenses are allocated, simplifying a large and complex system. The picture helps companies like RazorMetrics see how much of the budget can be managed more effectively with the right solutions.
