Which is not a contributor to the increase in health care expenditures in the u.s.?

Answer 1

All the given options are contributors to the increase in health care expenditure in the U.S. Thus, option 5 is the correct answer.

          As people become older, their medical expenses increase. With age comes various illnesses which need to be treated. Thus, they almost become regular visitors to the hospital. This increases their health care expenditure.

          The hospital expenses have increased a lot in the present times. The introduction of new technology and machinery has also increased medical fees and expenditures.

           Since the price for everything has increased, the prices of the services of the physicians have also increased, which adds to the medical expenditure.

           More prescriptions mean more medicines. More medicines mean more expenditure on medical issues. Thus it again leads to an increase in health expenditures.
