Marginal effects usually determine the change in a dependent variable (overall medical spending) based on a change in another variable that affects the dependent one (Spending on preventative care), all things remaining the same. If spending on preventative care is high, the overall medical bill should be low, assuming treatment costs, labor costs of health workers and all other factors are constant. If preventative care spending is low, the overall medical spending will be high.
The marginal effects of overall medical spending on health status is larger in the US. The marginal effects of preventative care spending on health is likely smaller than for overall spending.
