The Campaign to End Obesity
As American children head back to school, a study released today by the national
accounting firm Ernst & Young for the Campaign to End Obesity found that the
economic return on investment in providing healthy school meals is roughly
$108.4 billion over a generation. These savings are directly related to the
health and education improvements that are demonstrated to occur when children
eat more nutritious foods during the school day...
CEO Action Fund Applauds Introduction of the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act of
2017
Washington, D.C. – The Campaign to End Obesity Action Fund today commended
Senators Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Tom Carper (D-DE) and Representatives Erik
Paulsen (R-MN) and Ron Kind (D-WI) for reintroducing important legislation aimed
to help address the U.S. obesity epidemic, which costs U.S. taxpayers some $200
billion each year – a figure that will continue to rise absent policy and other
interventions. The “Treat and Reduce Obesity Act of 2017,” introduced in both
the Senate and the House today, would give seniors with obesity access to
needed, effective and safe therapeutic tools to help them lose and manage their
weight, including counseling from trained health care professionals and
FDA-approved pharmaceutical therapies. These tools, along with diet, exercise,
and, in certain circumstances, surgery, can help to form a comprehensive obesity
treatment approach. “As a doctor, I’ve seen obesity’s effect on a person’s
physical and mental wellness,” said Dr. Cassidy. “We must work together to make
effective treatment of obesity a priority. This bipartisan legislation will
lower health costs and give patients access to proper tools for better health.”
Currently, many of these tools are unavailable to seniors because they are not
covered by Medicare. However, as economic evidence increasingly shows that
effective interventions for patients with obesity and those at risk for obesity
can generate long-term health and economic returns, there is growing interest in
ensuring that Americans have the resources they need to achieve and sustain a
healthy weight. Scott Goudeseune, chairman of the board of the CEO Action Fund,
praised the legislation, saying, “Now is the time to make prevention and
wellness a national priority and tackle the obesity crisis head-on. The severe
health risks of obesity and the costs of care for obesity-related illnesses are
alarming. Increasing patient access to effective weight management approaches
will make a significant difference in fighting this disease and addressing its
long-term budget impact.” “Obesity accounts for nearly 10 percent of all annual
medical spending in the United States. Unless we do something to address the
obesity epidemic, the costs and harm to public health will only continue to
rise,” said Rep. Kind. “The Treat and Reduce Obesity Act of 2017 is a critical
step to improving health outcomes for our aging population, as well as reining
in out-of-control health care spending.”
