  • Title: Business, households, and government: health spending, 1994.
    Author: Cowan CA, Braden BR, McDonnell PA, Sivarajan L.
    Journal: Health Care Financ Rev; 1996; 17(4):157-78. PubMed ID: 10165707.
    Abstract:
    During the 1990s, growth in health care costs slowed considerably, helping to lessen the spending strain on business, government, and households. Although cost growth has slowed, the Federal Government continues to pay an ever-increasing share of the total health care bill. This article reviews important health care spending trends, and for the first time, provides separate estimates of the employer and employee share of the premium costs for employer-sponsored private health insurance. This article also highlights some of the emerging trends in the employer-sponsored insurance market, including managed care, cost-sharing, and employment shifts.
