A Dire Need for Wellness Programs

  • 70% to 90% of all health care costs are related to preventable lifestyle-related illnesses
  • 80% of all heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and up to 40% of cancer could be prevented if people ate healthier, exercised more and stopped smoking
  • Obese members increase health care costs by an estimated $2,500 per year
  • $73.1 million would be saved if VEBA’s obese members reached a healthy weight (29,240 obese members times $2,500)
