In 2019–20, non-government sources spent $59.9 billion on health (Figure 17). At $29.8 billion (49.7%), individuals contributed nearly half of non-government health spending, private health insurance providers $16.7 billion (27.8%) and other non-government sources $13.5 billion (22.5%).
It is likely that the COVID-19 pandemic played an important role in lowering spending by individuals, private health insurance providers, and other non-government entities in 2019–20.
