Chronic diseases - like diabetes, asthma
and hypertension - account for $3 out
of $4 spent on healthcare. It makes sense
then that helping people with a health condition
stay healthy can lower these costs. You can
manage chronic diseases and improve your health by eating well, exercising, getting regular check-ups, and taking the medicines as your doctor prescribes.
Here's what we mean:
- Newer medicines may have fewer side effects. So people are more likely to take them as directed. That way, they get the full benefit from their treatment.
- Not taking medications as your doctor tells you may make your conditions worse. Overall this adds billions to our country's healthcare costs every year.
More people are using medicines, so we are spending more on medicines overall:
- More people with chronic diseases are living longer today, and therefore using more prescription drugs. In part, this is because newer, more effective medicines help them stay in control of their health.
