If we want to manage costs, we have to manage chronic disease.
Chronic Disease
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, six in ten people in the United States have a chronic disease, accounting for nearly $4.1 trillion in national health care costs each year. According to that same data:
- More than 37 million Americans have diabetes; a further 96 million adults and nearly one in five adolescents (ages 12-18) have prediabetes.
- Nearly one in two U.S. adults (112 million) has high blood pressure.
- 264,121 new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in 2019 alone, as were 12,795 new cases of cervical cancer, 142,462 new cases of colorectal cancer, and 88,059 new cases of melanoma.
It is clear that interventions to prevent, detect, and manage these diseases are essential to the wellbeing of people and the economy.
