Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the National Health Expenditure Accounts, in 2017, health care's share of gross domestic product (GDP) in the United States was 17.9 percent. This is approximately three times as high as it was in 1965, when the share was 5.9 percent. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because the 2017 share was much higher than the 1995 share of 13.1 percent. Option B is also incorrect because 6.5 percent is a surprisingly low percentage for health care's share of GDP. Option D is not only incorrect, but also unrealistic, as a 75 percent share of GDP is completely unsustainable for any economy.
