Abstract: To describe government spending on health care benefits and programs, this report presents data from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Spending estimates vary slightly across these sources, but differences in the data do not change the overall story.
