Expenditure Management in Health Care
- Share to:
Each year, the Netherlands spends between 9.2 and 13.5 per cent of our GDP on health care, with the exact percentage depending on how we define health care. Whatever the exact percentage , however, it is undeniably a substantial amount for a country with a relatively young population – particularly since our collective health leaves much to be desired. Moreover, health care accounts for an increasingly large share of economic growth (currently, 20 per cent), as well as for 35 per cent of the increase in taxes and premiums. This share will increase even further over the next few decades (see figure 1). As there must still be financial resources available to cover other major expenses, we must spend the funds allocated for health care efficiently and set limits to what we intend to finance collectively.
