Diabetes: Nearly $1 Out of $4 Spent on Hospital Care

Wow, ouch.

Diabetes: Hospital Bills-$83 Billion A Year - TheFiscalTimes.com: "A new report finds diabetes accounts for nearly $1 out of $4 spent on hospital care. Diabetes affects nearly 25 million Americans, and that number is expected to grow substantially every year. It’s the fifth leading cause of death in America, more than breast cancer and AIDs combined. And according to a report released last week from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), it’s a disease that’s costing Americans $83 billion a year in hospital fees — 23 percent of total hospital spending."
