Medicare spending has increased due to several factors, including the rising costs of healthcare services, advancements in medical technology, and an aging population that requires more medical care. Additionally, the expansion of Medicare coverage and benefits, particularly through programs like Medicare Advantage, has contributed to higher expenditures. Increased utilization of healthcare services, coupled with higher prices for medical treatments and prescription drugs, has also played a significant role in the overall growth of Medicare spending.
