US Dollar to British Pound vs US Health Expenditure
US Dollar to British Pound and US Health Expenditure correlate at r = +0.53 over 24 years (2000–2023), p = 0.0080. With the time trend removed, r = -0.37. Direction flips without the trend.
Verdict: Direction flips without the trend. The raw correlation is 0.53, but once each series' time trend is removed it becomes -0.37. The year-to-year movements run the opposite way to the long-run trends, so the headline number is misleading.
