Today, Cato releases The Cato Institute Handbook on Affordability. In our chapter, Cato Senior Fellow Jeffrey A. Singer and I explain:

If subsidies reliably delivered affordability, the United States would be a patient’s paradise. Instead, it is the world leader in subsidizing and mandating health spending. Between tax-financed government programs and compulsory private spending, government compels US residents to spend 14 percent of national income on health care, a larger share of gross domestic product than total health spending in any other advanced country. Subsidies and compulsory spending are so extensive, US patients are less sensitive to prices and wasteful spending than patients in nearly every other advanced nation.
