The Economic Cost of ACEs in Tennessee (SycamoreInstituteTN.org)

Jane Stevens 2/1/191:20 PM

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can increase a person’s risk of health, social, and economic problems throughout life.
In 2017, ACEs among Tennessee adults led to an estimated $5.2 billion in direct medical costs and lost productivity from employees missing work.
ACEs are associated with risky health behaviors and poorer health outcomes even after accounting for other factors.
Over half of adult Tennesseans reported at least one ACE between 2014 and 2017, and about 17% had experienced 4 or more.

Enough to build a wall. And this is only one state. I just watched the movie "Vice". Can we see our government making the right decisions? 2018 NHS Highland annual report would be an easy read for people in the need to know.
