Is This A Healthcare Economy?

The health policy research group KFF, through its Health System Tracker project, is asking whether the United States should now be described as a 'healthcare economy' — a question pointing to how large a share of national spending and employment is tied to health care. The framing invites debate over whether America's economy increasingly revolves around medical costs rather than productive growth.

Why now: Ongoing public concern over high US healthcare costs and the sector's growing share of the economy.
