According to this website (http://stateofobesity.org/facts-economic-costs-of-obesity/), obesity-related medical treatment costs between $147 and $210 billion a year, or nearly 10 percent of all annual medical spending (based on 2006 data).

It says that obese people spend 42 percent more on healthcare costs than healthyweight people.
