US Health Expenditure vs US Population
US Health Expenditure and US Population correlate at r = +0.92 over 24 years (2000–2023), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.52. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.52). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
