COLLINSVILLE, Conn. — Rapidly rising healthcare spending in the US has reached $3.8 trillion per year, which is roughly equivalent to the entire revenue of the federal government. National healthcare expenditure is projected to reach $6.2 trillion by 2028, nearly matching the total federal budget.

“This is completely unsustainable,” says Michael Waterbury, CEO of Goodroot, a community of companies dedicated to lowering healthcare costs and increasing access to care. “When healthcare costs are greater than the total revenue collected by the federal government, it’s no surprise that nearly a third of working Americans are struggling with medical debt. Healthcare costs are a tremendous drain on the US economy and the industry is ripe for disruption.”
