A new obesity report is out. As a nation, experts say we're still putting on far too many pounds, but in some areas, the weight gain has leveled off in the last year.

It is still a big problem that experts say may soon start draining your tax dollars. The new report shows what's likely to happen when overweight baby boomers hit their Medicare years.

The report finds in 23 states, almost half, obesity is on the rise.

That's fewer than last year, but looking back almost a decade, no state had more than a 20% obesity rate

Today, every state but Colorado is at 20% or more.

It's worse for kids. In most states, almost 1/3 of the children are obese or overweight.

And, experts warn, wait until all the overweight baby boomers start to flood Medicare with their obesity-related diseases, like high blood pressure and diabetes.

The report found today's 55 to 64-year-olds are much heavier than today's seniors.

Medicare's already on the brink of bankruptcy. A former Medicare administrator says to add to that the fact that the latest evidence suggests that people with obesity have healthcare costs that are 20-30% higher than people who aren't obese. You've then got the makings for an even more severe financial challenge.

The report's authors are urging congress to make obesity a national priority.

The report also found many states have changed laws or added programs that are working. They're just few and far between and often underfunded.
