Health care spending growth in 201 7 was similar to average growth from 2008 to 2013, which preceded the faster growth experienced during the 2014 - 15 period that was marked by insurance coverage expansion and high rates of growth in retail prescription drug spending. The overall share of gr oss domestic product (GDP) related to health care spending was 17.9 percent in 201 7 , similar to that in 2016 (18.0 percent) . H ealth Spending by Type of Service or Product:  Hospital Care ( 33 percent share ) : S pending for hospital care increased 4. 6 percent to $1.1 trillion in 201 7 , which was slower than the 5. 6 percent growth in 201 6 . The slower growth in 201 7 was driven by slower growth in th e use and intensity of services. Hospital c are expenditures slowed among the major payers — private health insurance , Medicare, and Medic aid .  Physician and Clinical Services (20 percent share ) : Spending on p hysician and c linical services increased 4.2 percent to $ 6 94 . 3 billion in 201 7 . Growth for physician and clinical services slowed in 2017 and was driven by growth in non - price factors such as use and intensity of services. Although slowing, g rowth in clinical services continued to outpace the growth in physician services in 2017 .  Retail Prescription Drugs (10 percent share) : Growth in r etail p rescription drug spending slowed in 201 7 , increasing 0 . 4 percent to $3 33 . 4 billion . The slower growth in 2017 follow ed 2.3 percent growth in 2016, and was the lowest growth in retail prescription drug spending since 2012, when several blockbuster drugs los t patent protection. The key drivers of the slower growth w ere a continued shift to lower - cost generic drugs and slower growth in the sales volume of some high - cost drugs.  Other Health, Residential, and Personal Care Services (5 percent share) : Spending for other health, residential, and personal care services grew 5.6 percent in 2017 to $ 183.1 billion after increasing 5.3 percent in 2016 . The slight acceleration was driven by faster growth in residential mental health and substance abuse facilities and a mbulance services. This category includes expenditures for medical services that are generally delivered by providers in non - traditional settings such as schools, community centers, and the workplace; as well as by ambulance providers and residential menta l health and substance abuse facilities.  Nursing Care Facilities and Continuing Care Retirement Communities (5 percent share): Growth in s pending for freestanding nursing care facilities and continuing care retirement communities decelerated in 2017, grow ing 2.0 percent to $166.3 billion compared to 3.1 percent growth in 2016. The slower growth in 2017 is largely attributable to slower spending growth in both out - of - pocket and private health insurance spending .  Dental Services (4 percent share) : Spending for dental services increased 3.2 percent in 2017 to $ 129 . 1 billion , decelerating from 5.2 percent growth in 2016 .

Out - of - pocket spending for dental services (which accounted for 41 percent of dental spending) also slowed, growing 2.5 percent in 2017 , after growth of 5.0 percent in 2016 .  Home Health Care (3 percent share) : Spending for freestanding home health care agencies increased 4.3 percent in 2 01 7 , the same rate as 2016 , to $ 97.0 billion . S lower growth in Medicaid spending and private health insurance spending was offset by faster Medicare spending and out of pocket spending . Medicare and Medicaid together made up 76 percent of home health spending in 201 7 .  Other Professional Services (3 percent share): Spending for other professional services reached $96.6 billion in 2017 and increased 4.6 percent, a slower rate of growth co mpared to the increase of 5.1 percent in 2016.

The deceleration was driven in part by slower growth in medical benefits and a decline in fees and taxes resulting from the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016, which suspended collection of the health insurance plan fee in 2017.  Medicare (20 percent s hare) : Medicare spending grew 4.2 percent to $ 705.9 billion in 2017 , which was similar to the rate of growth in 2016 of 4.3 percent. The growth in 2017 reflected slower growth in spending for Medicare fee - for - service ( 2. 6 percent in 2016 to 1. 4 percent in 2017 ) that was almost entirely offset by faster growth in Medicare spending for private health plans ( 8.1 percent in 2016 to 10.0 percent in 201 7 ) .  Medicaid (17 percent share) : Total Medicaid spending decelerate d in 2017 , increasing 2 .9 percent to $581.9 billion compared to growth of 4.2 percent in 2016 .
