New Report: Parkinson’s Now Costs the U.S. $82 Billion a Year — And Rising Fast
A new report from The Michael J. Fox Foundation delivers a sobering message: Parkinson’s disease is not just a health crisis — it's an economic one.
The report estimates that Parkinson’s disease and related conditions now cost the United States $82.2 billion every year. And if current trends continue, that number is expected to reach $112.4 billion by 2045.
Let that sink in.
Parkinson’s isn’t just growing.
It’s accelerating — and the cost is rising with it.

Shrinking is Back on Apple TV!
Paul (Harrison Ford) meets Gerry (Michael J. Fox), a fellow Parkinson’s patient, in the doctor’s office. Gerry’s blunt “F— Parkinson’s” attitude pushes Paul to stop minimizing his disease and adopt the same defiant outlook. Their shared humor and honesty help Paul face his progression with fresh resolve.
