    It's going to get worse
    Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
    think about that

      "a quarter-of-a-trillion dollars in extra insurance administrative costs to the U.S. health-care system"

      Paper pushers! Not doctors, nurses, drugs, equipment, but paper-pushers in the digital age.

        Pencil pushers AKA insurance companies, this is the way republicans wanted it.


        'The $273.6 billion in additional insurance overhead represents an average of of $1,375 per newly insured person, per year, from 2012 through 2022.'

          The overhead cost equals a whopping 22.5 percent of the total estimated $2.76 trillion in all federal government spending for the Affordable Care Act programs during that time, the authors of the report in the journal Health Affairs noted.

          In contrast, the federal government's traditional Medicare program has overhead of just 2 percent, according to the report.

          The percentage of administrative costs for our traditional Medicare program are only one-sixth that of the private insurers. Further, if Medicare were our only payer, the administrative burden placed on our health care delivery system would be only a fraction of what it now is. Obviously, a single-payer, improved Medicare that covers everyone is precisely what we need. Then we could spend that money on patients instead of paperwork.

          No shit Sherlock -- Single Payer would be a lot less expensive but we would have had government death panels

          We got played by Wall Street again (as usual).
