Doing all we can to combat climate change comes with numerous benefits, from reducing pollution and associated health care costs to strengthening and diversifying the economy by shifting to renewable energy, among other measures.

I want to drive down health care costs.

Health care costs are an issue both for the government and for our larger economy.

Health care costs are eating the Defense Department alive.

Two decades of experience as an entrepreneur and CEO has informed my view that our priorities must stress improving educational outcomes, rebuilding America's infrastructure, lowering health care costs, addressing climate change, reforming immigration, and ushering in an advanced energy economy.

I think we do better as a country when we go step by step toward a goal, and the goal in this case should be reducing health care costs.
