title: Health expenditures in Texas for 1987.
abstract: Total, per capita, and state government health spending by category of service for 1987 were estimated along with the distribution of spending by sources of payment. Definitions, methods, and sources of data are similar to those used by the US Health Care Financing Administration in estimating national health care expenditures and payments. Comparisons are made with prior-years' spending and with estimates of spending at the national level. Spending and financing patterns are identified and possible explanations are discussed.
