At the other end of the spectrum, the lowest 50% of the population accounted for only 3% of total health care spending, per Kaiser Foundation.


So: Top 5% spends 50%; bottom 50% spends 3%; middle 45% spends 47%.

You could completely eliminate all health care spent on 50% of the population and it would only reduce health care spending overall by 3%.
