The US health sector is vast, with annual national health expenditures estimated at $5.0 trillion. There is no single source of publicly available and easy-to-use information on health spending for collective use by policymakers, purchasers and the public. This National Academies for Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine webinar on July 23, 2024, brought together data producers (national and state) with data users and other experts to address these issues and explore areas for improvement.
