We are working on initiatives in different states that would ban incandescent light bulbs and promote conservation of energy. We also support getting rid of the 16 billion dollars of tax breaks to oil companies and use more money to develop green energy. The current oil and gas tax breaks encourage the use of fossil fuels at the expense of cleaner alternatives.

46 million Americans have no health insurance. Americans spend about 16 percent of GNP on health care. Other wealthy nations like Japan, Australia, Canada, and rich European nations spend about 8 percent of GNP on health care. The GNP of health care in America would be 5 largest economy in the world amounting to over 2 trillion dollars. On average over 25 percent disappears in administrative cost. It is expected the United States health care spending would reach 20 percent of GNP in 10 years, which is unsustainable. Progressive Action wants to advocate for a better health care system, plus protect workers rights for health care at the work place.
