America's population is aging rapidly. And that means demand for health care will explode in the coming years. By 2030, one in five Americans will be older than 65. Nearly 80 percent of those seniors will suffer from two or more chronic diseases. 

There aren't enough U.S.-educated doctors to treat all these current and future patients. By 2030, the United States could be short up to 49,000 primary care doctors, according to research from the Association of American Medical Colleges.

Americans don't get out much anymore. We're indoors for 90 percent of each day, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.   

For a big chunk of that time, many of us are behind a desk. One study found that just one-quarter of office workers spent more than an hour outside each day.

Research shows that people who are cooped up all day have less energy and worse moods. That's bad news not just for them but for their employers. After all, a happy, energetic worker is more productive.

Washington governor and Democratic presidential candidate Jay Inslee plans to make climate change the primary focus of his campaign. When asked if transitioning to all renewable energy would require raising taxes, Inslee replied "not necessarily."

He claims one source of funding is to "remove the giant subsidies from the oil and gas companies."

The oil and gas "subsidies" Inslee refers to are small compared to the renewable energy industry. In addition, most of them are widely claimed tax deductions available to many other industries.
