Yet it had increased its defence spending by 58 billion and had left 4.7 million elderly people without health care.

A Scandinavian level of taxes would be bearable if public services did not remain inferior to those offered in Scandinavia. For example, per capita health care spending in Sweden, Denmark, and Finland exceeds 3,000, compared to only 2,300 in Italy, where households must contribute roughly 20 of total health care spending.

At best, they are seeking ways to keep health care spending from rising, as though the genie of medical progress can be forced back into the bottle. Instead, governments should embrace the promise of wonderful innovations in health care, and ask how fast spending should rise, and how that rise should be financed.

A new study by Drew Altman, a respected health care expert and President of the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, concludes that slower growth in real GDP, along with a lower inflation rate, accounts for more than three quarters of the slowdown in health care spending in the US after 2001. The weak economy has caused people to postpone consumption of health care services and has encouraged states and employers to restrain their spending on health.

Women passed on their knowledge to their children, and needed to take practical decisions about spending money on educating children, birth control and health.

Trends in the US budget reflect an inconvenient truth If the growth of spending on health care programs cannot be slowed, stabilizing the federal debt at a sustainable level will require deep cuts in spending on other priorities and increases in taxes on the middle class. The recent slowdown in the growth of health care spending is a promising sign that America s budgetary tradeoffs may turn out to be less difficult than expected.

Obama s projected budgets do not change that. For the coming 2010 fiscal year, Obama s budget calls for 755 billion in military spending, an amount that exceeds US budget spending in all other areas except so called mandatory spending on social security, health care, interest payments on the national debt, and a few other items.

Policymakers should pair fiscal measures to ameliorate the jobs and investment deficits now with a multi year plan to reduce the long run fiscal deficit gradually. This long run plan should increase spending on education, infrastructure, and research, while curbing future growth in health care spending through the cost containment mechanisms contained in Obama s health reform legislation.

Spending less than US 15 per refugee per year, UNRWA's health programme had been able to provide the Palestine refugee population with comprehensive health care services, but its doctors were seeing an average of 100 patients a day.

Although variations exist between regions and countries, if spending on population and AIDS activities is completely in line with spending on health in general, then it is safe to assume that consumers in developing countries assume more than half of the burden of population expenditures.

Public spending patterns
