First, I would like to say publicly how proud I am of the new attorney general, Scott Pruitt, that we have in the State of Oklahoma. He is taking the leadership in suing to determine the constitutionality of the government-run health care. We are doing that currently in the State of Oklahoma. I am looking for some great results from that. As I look at this, sometimes you have to ask the very basic questions. If you are talking about a government-run system, something that doesn't work in Sweden or Denmark or the UK or Canada, why would it work here, when we have all these members of Parliament coming over saying: Why are you insisting on going to something that is a dismal failure at the same time we are moving toward a much more successful health delivery system, the model for the whole world, and that is what we have in the United States.
