Trying to get some health care statistics.

Woops. Very sorry, guys. I thought that would be the ‘description,’ not the actual post. Here’s what I originally wrote:

Hi everyone,

Nice to see so many likeminded people in one place.

I was wondering if anyone had any statistics on health care expenditures as a % of GDP, historically. The earliest I can find is about 1934. I can’t find anything for the 1800’s or 1700’s. I’m working on a paper and it’d be great to trace certain licensing laws, etc. to jumps in health care costs.

Thanks a lot!
