In the year of 2018 the federal government spent approximately 1.1 trillion dollars and income tax expenditures for health care totaled $225 billion. The U.S. spends more per capita on health care than any other nation in the world.

Two different programs Medicare and Medicaid account for almost 25% of the federal budget. The first one cover the health insurance of all Americans over the age of 65. And the second provides health insurance to people with disabilities, the elderly, children, and people with low incomes. As a result, a cut in this sector would create a scenario of fewer hospital services, and research would decline.
