Growth of the U.S. healthcare industry The aging of the U.S. population and the nature of the country’s fee-for-service system will drive the cost of healthcare higher in the near term. Healthcare expenditures in the United States are expected to exceed $3.4 trillion in 2016, over 18% of GDP. Government entities currently account for 38% of total payments. Medicaid, which currently accounts for 16% of total payments, is expected to reach 20% by 2021, as a result of the additional enrollees as part of the ACA reform1.
