| Sourced From |

Could the revenue from auctioning off carbon credits be used to pay for a new health-care system? Bloomberg reports:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid [D-Nev.] said he is open to financing an overhaul of the U.S. health-care system with revenue generated from efforts to rein in greenhouse gas emissions. Reid, a Nevada Democrat, told reporters yesterday Democrats are determined to finance the cost of any expansion of health care with savings found elsewhere in the governments budget in order to avoid widening the federal deficit.
