From the Paper:

"Health care in modern society is funded through various means. The primary source of funding is achieved through the American consumer with the purchase of health care insurance and services. Health care is also funded through the government in programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. In some circumstances funding of many organizations is achieved through grants that are directed toward the performance of programs aimed at societal need. Additionally, private funding serves some health care institutions, though this does not speak to funding for all health care facilities. This funding is required to cover health care spending in the country, which has increased dramatically in the past few decades. Spending for health care is primarily comprised of expenditures in advanced technologies, research and patient care."
