• Prices paid for medical services

• Regional preferences about the use of healthcare services
• Residual variation
Factors Contributing to Geographic Variation in Health Care Spending
Congressional Budget Office, Geographical Variation in Health Care Spending, 2008
Two thirds of Medicare spending is for people with five or more chronic conditions
Percent of Healthcare Spending for Individuals with chronic conditions by type of insurance
People with Multiple Chronic Conditions are much more likely to be hospitalized
Spending for inpatient hospital care increases with the number of chronic conditions
Healthcare Spending Increases with the Number of Chronic Conditions

Developing chronic diseases is not an inevitable consequence of aging
Behaviors Poor diet (low fruit and vegetable intake) High cholesterol High blood pressure Lack of physical activity Tobacco useChronic Diseases• Type 2 diabetes• congestive heart failure• Stroke• hypertension
Overweight and obesity raise the risk for:type 2 diabeteshigh blood pressurehigh cholesterol levelscoronary heart diseasecongestive heart failure

Geographic variation in Public Health Spending is even greater than variation in Medicare Spending
Public Health Activities Monitor community health status Investigate and control disease outbreaks Educate the public about health risks and prevention strategies Enforce public health laws and regulations Inspect and assure the safety and quality of water, air, and other
resources necessary for good health Public Health Spending
State government’s per capita spending on public health activities varied by a factor of 30 in 2003 (more than 400$ per person in Hawaii, less than $75 per person in Iowa)
Variation even great on the local level (less than 1$ per capita to more than 200$ per capita in 2005)

Overarching goals: 1) increase quality and years of healthy life 2) eliminate health disparities
By changing the way they live, Americans could change their personal health status and the health landscape of the Nation dramatically.
