The biggest consumers of how the government gets health care " -

Recent projections by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services estimate that the government will pay for half of all health care services by the end of next year.

in 08, public funds accounted for 47 percent of the $ 2.34 trillion spent on national health services. in 2012, it is estimated that the government will pay for at least 50.4 percent of the nations total health care expenditures

This there is little to slow the growing need for government assistance in the purchase of health care -. especially since almost all of the baby boomers will be eligible for Medicare in 2011. And up that the economy starts to do better, many low-income Americans will continue to receive financial assistance for health care programs run by the government as Medicaid.

the federal government can continue to offer short-term solutions to maintain these public health insurance programs afloat, but will consider a better option for the future.
