National health expenditure per person (US)
US national health expenditure divided by the resident population (Census Bureau, excluding armed forces overseas), in US dollars per person, as published by CMS.
National Health Expenditure Accounts definition: health consumption spending plus investment in research, structures and equipment, at current prices. It is broader than the OECD System of Health Accounts figure (health_expenditure_gdp, health_expenditure_per_capita_usd_ppp), which excludes investment; use those to compare countries. CMS revises earlier years with each annual release.
