We can only imagine what would happen to our health care and to the quality of our health care here in North Dakota if we took the federal government out of health care.

We should show Washington how we do it in North Dakota. I'm running to stop the over-regulating of our economy and start growing it.

We don't want the efficiency of the federal government and the compassion of the IRS to run our health care.

Democrats believe we must have comprehensive health care reform that includes giving the federal government authority to negotiate lower prices with drug companies.

Congressman Berg will repeatedly talk about Harry Reid and Barack Obama, and I find it interesting, because this morning, when I woke up and brushed my teeth, I looked in the mirror and I did not see a tall, African-American, skinny man. So let's make it clear that my priorities are North Dakota priorities.

These are the same people who believe, in some cases, the federal government should not play any role in providing health care to our people or protecting the environment.
