$28k: This is the median cost that a family of 4 will pay for health care in 2018.

According to the Milliman Medical Index's 2018 financial year, a typically four-person U.S. family covered by the most employer-funded medical care program can anticipate spending in excess of $28,000 on medical care in 2018. These are six important findings from the 2018 Medical Index: In 2018, a family of four will be paying an estimated $28,166 on a daily basis, an increment of $1,222 over 2017.

Estimates include the median costs of sickness insurance borne by employer and employee as well as co-payments and outlays. In 2018, 31 per cent of a family of four's expenditure on medical care will be stationary care, 29 per cent medical care, 19 per cent out-patient care, 17 per cent chemist's care and 4 per cent of expenditure on "other" care, such as domestic care or ambulatory care.

In the last 10 years, the amount a family of four has spent on health services has increased by an estimated $100 per month per year. Whilst the four-member family with a US dollars amount continue to raise their health expenditure, the rate at which they grow is slower. There were several factors behind this development, among them the commitment of providers to reduce health expenditure, more rational planning to encourage consumer to find cost-effective health services, and government programmes such as value-based nursing programmes.

Overall health care expenditure for a family of four is borne by workers and parents. By 2018, approximately $15,788 in health care for a family of four will be covered by the company, $7,674 in deductions for employees' wages and $4,704 in expenditures. On the basis of these dollars, staff will cover about 44% of their health care bills.

During 2008, staff members spent less than 40 per cent of their health care time. Whereas both employers' and employees' cost have risen from 2017 to 2018, the cost to the worker has risen more sharply. Health expenditure by staff rose by 5.9 per cent, in comparison with an employers' growth of 3.5 per cent. Further health financing articles: Copyright ASC Comunications 2019.
