Summary:

The health of populations in OECD countries has improved dramatically over the past forty years, while health expenditure has been growing rapidly and now represents more than 8% of gross domestic product (GDP) in more than half of OECD countries. As a result, health systems have become the largest service industry in most OECD countries.
