Well, the reason I ran is because we are bankrupting the Nation. I love America. We love America. When I watch what is happening, and when I saw how broken Washington was, when I saw them pass the health care law, from my standpoint that was the straw that broke the camel's back. Our first child, my daughter Carey, was born with a very serious congenital heart defect. Dedicated doctors and surgeons saved her life the first day. Then 8 months later, when her heart was the size of a plum, another dedicated surgical team of dedicated professionals totally reconstructed the upper chamber of her heart. Her heart operates backwards now. But she is 28 years old, and she is a nurse herself in a neonatal intensive care unit. When I heard President Obama say these doctors, that they will take out a set of tonsils for a few extra bucks, I found that outrageous. Then when this Congress and this President signed the health care law, I know the result of that. It is designed to lead to a government takeover of our health care system. All we have to do is take a look at Canada and Britain. We don't have to theorize what that is going to result in. It will lower the quality of care. It will result in rationing, and the medical innovation to save my daughter's life and millions of others--it really is America where medical miracles are created. I think that innovation is going to come to a grinding halt.…
