Yeah. Those short buses don't run on air, dammit. And WTF is with this special treatment where you get your own bus in the first place. Ride on the regular bus with the rest of the kids. :|

Obesity cost taxpayers $39B in 2003

Obesity cost taxpayers $39B in 2003
By Nanci Hellmich, USA TODAY
Obese Americans ? those who are 30 or more pounds over a healthy weight ? cost the country about $75 billion in weight-related medical bills in 2003, and taxpayers paid for about half of that, a study revealed Wednesday.
Almost 65% of Americans weigh too much. Extra weight increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, several types of cancer and other diseases.

Economists with RTI International and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention compared state annual medical costs for obese people with those for adults at healthy weights.

They found that the public paid about $39 billion ? or about $175 per taxpayer ? through Medicare and Medicaid programs for obesity-linked illnesses. The study, to be published Friday in Obesity Research, gives a state-by-state breakdown of weight-related costs.

The same researchers released a report in May that showed that the total annual medical bill for people who are either obese or overweight, weighing just a few to 30 pounds over an ideal weight, is as much as $93 billion. Their analyses include direct medical costs related to extra weight but not indirect costs such as time off work.

"If obesity goes up, these costs are going to continue to go up," says lead author Eric Finkelstein, a health economist for RTI International.



Won't be long before the gov't starts regulating fast food and taxes them on SuperSized portions 😉

Isn't that largely offset by increased fast food revenues tho? 😛

What was that song? "Fat people got no reason to live" or was it short people? Agghh feed them all to starving Andes aircraft crash survivors. 😀 😀 😛
 
yeah, they should pay more for health insurance. same thing with smokers. higher risk = more money. lower risk people should get a discount. makes perfect sense.

I totally agree...

god someone or something needs to fix this alarming trend that americans are on...

hmm imagine if in the future 4 out of 5 americans are obese and the life expectancy rate drops to 50-60 YO!!

 
Ummm most health and life insurance policies DO charge more to smokers, substance abusers etc...
Once most of you are out of HS you will realize that.
