From http://www.businessinsurance.com Medical costs associated with treating obesity-related diseases in the United States could increase by as much as $66 billion annually by the year 2030, based on current trends, according to a new study released by the health policy group Trust for America's Health. The state-by-state analysis of obesity-linked disease rates and associated medical spending, released Tuesday by the Washington-based organization, also projects that obese individuals could account for 44% of all American adults by 2030 if obesity rates nationwide continue to grow at their current pace. According to the study, “F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America's Future 2012,” that rate of growth would likely lead to more than 6 million new cases of type 2 diabetes, 5 million cases of coronary heart disease and stroke, and more than 400,000 cancer diagnoses in the next 20 years. Those new cases will add between $48 billion and $66 billion per year to the nation's spending on direct costs for obesity-related medical care by 2030 under current projections, according to the study. An unchanged growth rate of the percentage of obese Americans also would significantly inflate indirect costs over the same 18-year period, the report says. The associated loss in economic productivity, the study predicts, could be between $390 billion and $580 billion annually. The study also notes that workers compensation claims costs generated by obese employees are typically much higher than those generated by “healthy weight” workers, though it did not provide a year-over-year prediction for cost growth under current conditions.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Aug. 8 (UPI) -- A former Illinois workers' compensation arbitrator's $25,233 worker's compensation payment is being challenged in court by state officials. The Illinois attorney general's office is seeking to reverse the tax-free cash settlement paid to Jennifer Carril, who filed for a disability settlement in 2010 for injuries she said resulted from typing on her computer, the Belleville (Ill.) News-Democrat reported Wednesday. Carril, whose claim was backed up by a doctor who said she suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome, resigned from her job as a workers' compensation arbitrator in July 2011. Maura Possley, spokeswoman for Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, said the office filed its legal challenge June 18. "We are asking the court to review and reverse the decision," Possley said. Carril and her lawyer declined to comment. U.S. Risk Health Care realizes that the healthcare industry is one of the fastest growing business segments in today's economy.
