title: Medical-care spending--United States.
abstract: One aspect of health-care reform is the role of prevention in controlling costs. To evaluate data on medical spending by disease category, the National Public Services Research Institute examined data from the 1987 National Medical Expenditure Survey (NMES-2), with emphasis on the Medical Provider Survey supplement. This report presents the findings of that analysis.
