    AbstractA new data set from the Health Care Financing Administration gives estimates of state spending for hospital care, physician services, and retail purchases of prescription drugs, which together account for 70 percent of health expenditures nationwide. Analysis of these data, which are the first uniform state data to be produced for nearly ten years, shows considerable variation among states and among regions in health care spending. The New England and Mideast regions show the consistently highest spending levels for all three categories; the Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions spent the smallest amount (as much as 17 percent below the U.S. average).
