“Reducing the avoidable costs associated with [chronic] conditions [diabetes, cancer, hypertension, stroke, pulmonary conditions, mental disorders, and heart disease] is central to meeting the twin challenges of promoting affordable health care and fostering continued economic growth. We have a choice: continue on the current path or alter it by changing our behaviors and focusing on prevention and early intervention.”

162 million cases of chronic diseases in America, which costs the economy $1.3 trillion annually ($277 billion in treatment and $1.1 trillion in lost productivity) Assuming modest improvements in preventing and treating disease, we could avoid 40 million cases of chronic disease annually and reduce the economic impact of disease by 27% by 2023 Lower obesity rates alone could produce productivity gains of $254 billion and avoid $60 billion in treatment expenditures per year
