Arizona Population (In Thousands) and Healthcare Dollars (In Billions) by Primary Market Segment, 2006

• Arizona’s 5.2 million residents under age 65 are projected to consume at least $18 billion in health care services in 2006.
• The majority of healthcare expenditures for this population ($11.8 billion, or 65%) are funded through employer-sponsored insurance coverage (large employers, small employers, and government/military).
• Despite increases in Medicaid rolls and expenditures in recent years, nearly 1 in 5 Arizonans (19%) remains uninsured in 2006.

Notes:

1. Healthcare expenditures shown do not include Behavioral Health.
2. Medicaid figures do not include individuals who are also eligible for Medicare, as Medicare would be considered their “primary” source of health insurance coverage.
3. Small employers are those employers who employ 50 or fewer employers. Remaining employers are classified as “large employers.”
4. Individuals covered only through the Indian Health Service are included in the uninsured market segment.
5. Due to rounding, numbers may not add to 100 percent.
