2006年，美国的医疗保健支出增长了6.7%，达到2.1万亿美元，即人均7,026美元。国内生产总值中的医疗保健部分为16.0%，略高于2005年。2006年处方药支出增长加速至8.5%，部分原因是医疗保险D部分的影响。2006年，大多数其他主要保健服务和公共支付者的增长速度低于前几年。医疗保险D部分的实施导致了处方药支付者分布的重大转变，因为医疗保险在药品购买方面发挥了比以前更大的作用。
In 2006, U.S. health care spending increased 6.7 percent to $2.1 trillion, or $7,026 per person. The health care portion of gross domestic product (GDP) was 16.0 percent, slightly higher than in 2005. Prescription drug spending growth accelerated in 2006 to 8.5 percent, partly as a result of Medicare Part D's impact. Most of the other major health care services and public payers experienced slower growth in 2006 than in prior years. The implementation of Medicare Part D caused a major shift in the distribution of payers for prescription drugs, as Medicare played a larger role in drug purchases than it had before.
