What they found was striking. Between 2003 and 2006, 30.6 percent of direct medical costs faced by African Americans, Hispanics, and Asian Americans were excess costs due to health inequities. Eliminating these inequities would have reduced medical care expenditures by nearly $230 billion during this period. On top of this, more than a trillion additional dollars in indirect costs were associated with health inequities. In total, between 2003 and 2006 the combined costs of health inequities and premature death in the United States were $1 .24 trillion.

GENEVA (HedgeWorld.com) - Investment opportunities in Asia are gaining traction among typically conservative private clients, according to attendees at the Reuters Wealth Management Summit, held here Oct. 8-10.

Retailers saw a spike in technological advances, adjusting marketing strategies to meet customer demands. Do-it-yourself, mobile marketing, affiliate marketing and word of mouth took center stage. Even as the minimum wage was increased, employers continued to struggle to find trained workers. As customer's habits change, family entertainment centers shifted focus and thrift stores and online bookstores proved to be popular shopping destinations. Teleconferencing and the vanity oxygen industry experienced growth, and the toy industry faced pitfalls.
