We’ll save taxpayers $2 billion a year by making 75% of federal buildings more energy efficient, and save the average working family $350 on their energy bills by weatherizing million homes.To lower health care cost, cut medical errors, and improve care, we’ll puterize the nation’s health record in five years, saving billions of dollars in health care costs and countless lives.
