WASHINGTON (AP) - Health care is expected to account for $1 of every $5 spent in the United States in another decade.
That means a rise in out-of-pocket expenses, such as the copays for medicine, from about $850 this year to about $1,400 in 2016, a 5.3 percent annual increase.
The cost of health insurance is projected to rise even more quickly during that same time — 6.4 percent annually.
