Good call. If only everyone in Congress agreed.
For some reason, a number of members of Congress would rather listen to business executives and their lobbyists than healthcare experts.
The American Lung Association, for example, has strongly opposed restricting the EPA's ability to set pollution standards. After all, those standards, when implemented, can significantly improve lives - and even save them.

Next question: who would you listen to, a scientist or an executive?
Um, that's not a great idea.
But it's not without precedent.
Right now, members of Congress are listening to business executives and their lobbyists instead of healthcare professionals - and the result is an attempt to gut the EPA's ability to regulate pollution.
Americans can't afford to wait for sensible pollution standards. And we can't be held hostage by the people who don't want to pay to prevent that pollution (since the substantial number of jobs created won't put money in their pockets).
