France spends approximately 10% of its gross domestic product (GDP) on health care and in terms of health expenditure is second in the European Union (EU) only to Germany, in terms of health expenditure (OECD 2005); this level has remained relatively stable over the past five years.
National health care spending as a percentage of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP)—the total spending on goods and services in the United States—has been rising steadily over the past 40 years. In 1960, it accounted for slightly more than 5 percent of the total. By 2002, health care spending was about 15 percent of GDP
