Cities that spend most, least on health care
According to a study by Thomson Reuters, American employer-sponsored health care plans spend money on medical services differ a lot from city to city. Gathered data from 382 metropolitan statistical areas(MSA) during 2009 shows that the metro area with the highest amount of spending was Anderson, Ind., at $7,231 per person. The lowest amount at $2,623 per person, was Ogden-Clearfield, Utah. Variation in amount possibly is due to the illness or lack of illness in these communities, at local practice patterns and the amount of competition among hospitals to deliver health care services.
