It's going to get worseCarbon 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

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.
Obamacare's big overhead costs to top $270B | Physicians for a National Health ProgramNo shit Sherlock -- Single Payer would be a lot less expensive but we would have had government death panelsThe 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.
