After the virus and the pandemic that has plagued mankind for the past two years, the variables related to the health field have started to increase in terms of their interest and the publications that deal with this issue are increasing day by day. In this research we try to examine, how spending on health is affected by three key macroeconomic indicators such as GDP, per capita income, and life expectancy. We include a sample of three developed countries from the European Union, Spain, France, and Greece and examine this relationship over time for the years 2008 to 2018. The results we produce are significant and we see that there is a positive correlation between health expenditure and per capita GDP. The model we set up is a simple linear logarithmic way that handles all the variables in the last references above. Certainly, the research needs some improvements and adjustments, but we believe that the results we produce are very important to be included in future research.
