This document discusses the sustainability of health spending and revenues for the Australian central government in the long term. Chart 1 shows projections of the fiscal position over time, with the primary balance and net interest expected to decline but remain in deficit by 2060-61. Chart 2 shows that health spending projections as a percentage of GDP have increased across intergenerational reports and are expected to continue rising. Chart 4 specifically focuses on rising health spending projections over time. The document raises the question of whether these spending levels can be sustained by the tax system into the future.
