NOTES: This table disaggregates health expenditures according to five classes of sponsors: businesses, households (individuals), federal government, and state and
local governments, with a small amount of revenue coming from nonpatient revenue sources such as philanthropy. Where businesses or households pay dedicated
funds into government health programs (for example, Medicare) or employers and employees share in the cost of health premiums, these costs are assigned to
businesses or households accordingly. This results in a lower share of expenditures being assigned to the federal government than for tabulations of expenditures by
source of funds. Estimates of national health expenditure by source of funds aim to track government-sponsored health programs over time and do not delineate the
role of business employers in paying for health care. See Appendix I, National Health Expenditure Accounts (NHEA). Estimates may not sum to totals because of
rounding. For more information on NHE sponsors, sources, and methods, see the National Health Expenditure Accounts Methodology Paper, 2013. Available from:
