WASHINGTON (AP) _ The cost of the nation's health care rose 6.9 percent to $1.3 trillion in 2000 as Americans spent more on prescription drugs and hospital care, the government says.

Health care spending averaged $4,637 per person, up from $4,377 in 1999, the government said in a report marking what its economists called the "end of an era of reasonable health care cost growth throughout most of the 1990s."
