Expenditures for Health Care of Children and Youth in the United States

Helen M. Wallace

Maternal and Child Health Program University of California School of Public Health, Berkeley

This paper describes the expenditures for health care in the United States in fiscal year 1975. Proportionately, health expenditures for children and youth are lower than for other age groups. The average per capita expenditure for children and youth was $212.00. For children and youth public health care expenditures represented 24 per cent of the total; from public funds, Medicaid and the Department of Defense were the largest two programs; from the public sector, the federal government provided two thirds of the total health expendi tures. For children and youth, two thirds of all health expenditures were for hospital care and physicians' services.
