With regard to health care, we're already paying for the uninsured, at
least from the time that they get sick enough to drag themselves into
an ER.

Regarding cap & trade and other schemes to reduce carbon emissions: I
suspect it's already too late and we can just stand back and await the
end of life as we know it. The Arctic ice is already pretty much
melted, islands are disappearing in the Pacific, and the weather has
gone screwy just about every where. I'm glad I'm an old fart with most
of my life lived. I just hope I don't get reincarnated any time soon.
