Rising Chronic Disease Rates Portend Unsustainable Costs
By Kenneth E. Thorpe

12 percent of Americans suffer from five or more chronic conditions, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes. This fraction of the population accounts for 41 percent of total health care spending.

If we don't do more to prevent people from acquiring chronic disease, the resulting health care bills could blow a gaping hole in the federal budget.

Speaker Heastie Wavering on 911 Civil Rights Bill
