➤ How do agencies calculate the medical share of GDP?
Agencies divide total national health expenditures (NHE) by nominal GDP. NHE sums spending on hospital care, physician services, drugs, public health, and long-term care across public and private payers. Federal and statistical agencies report both totals annually, so the ratio shows the health sector’s size relative to overall economic output.

➤ How do I calculate the change in spending when income rises by $100?
Use the formula ΔC = MPC × ΔY. For a $100 income gain, multiply $100 by the marginal propensity to consume. For example, if MPC = 0.75, consumption rises by $75. You can then use the fiscal multiplier 1/(1−MPC) to estimate total output effects from that initial spending increase.
