Heitkamp Campaigns Today With Fellow ObamaCare Supporter Senator Mark Begich Across The United States ObamaCare Took $716 Billion From Seniors On Medicare It was a little more than two years ago, when Democrat Heidi Heitkamp told North Dakotans that the $1.76 trillion healthcare bill was a “legacy vote” that would lower the cost of health care, but what Heitkamp did not tell voters is that ObamaCare will cut $1 billion from North Dakota seniors on Medicare including $107 million in Burleigh County where she is campaigning today with Alaska Senator Mark Begich. According to the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Business, these cuts will take approximately $1 billion from seniors in North Dakota who depend on Medicare. Over The Next 10 Years, ObamaCare Will Cut $1 Billion From Medicare Plans That North Dakota Seniors Rely On For Their Health Care Needs. (Robert A. Book and Michael Ramlet, “What Is The Regional…

Heidi Heitkamp Said ObamaCare Would Make Healthcare More Affordable, Yet Costs Continue To Rise
Since Heitkamp’s Costly Health Care Law Was Passed Premiums Have Increased While praising the $1.76 trillion, job-killing healthcare law as a “legacy vote,” Democrat Heidi Heitkamp also promised that ObamaCare would lower the cost of healthcare, yet today a new report reveals Americans are now paying more for their health care. As the Washington Post reports: “Spending for private health insurance surged by 4.6 percent in 2011…That growth rate is faster than the rest of the economy and higher than the previous year, which had 3.8 percent growth. Average spending on a private insurance patient rose to $4,547 in 2011, compared with $4,349 in 2010. That statistic suggests that a recent downturn in health-care spending may have been a temporary product of the recession rather than a more permanent change, as some health-care economists have hoped.” (Sarah Kliff, Health insurance costs grew slowly for two years. Now, they’re speeding up,Washington Post, 9/25/12) Notably, Heitkamp…
New Report Highlights Latest Evidence Of Obama-Heitkamp Failed Economic Policies
Years Of Reckless Spending Now Driving Country Off A Fiscal Cliff WASHINGTON – Last month the top Senate Democratic leaders who are overseeing Heidi Heitkamp’s campaign for Senate made clear that they were willing to allow the country to go over a “fiscal cliff” unless their demands for massive tax hikes were met. But today, a new report from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) made clear that as a result of the Democrats’ reckless tax-and-spend policies, we are already headed in that direction. The report shows that the economy would go into a recession and unemployment would increase if the Democrats’ proposed small business tax hike and massive defense cuts are put into effect. “Today’s report is just the latest evidence that the failed economic policies trumpeted by Heidi Heitkamp and President Obama are driving our country over a fiscal cliff,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Lance Trover said today. “From the reckless spending…
NRSC Releases Web Video “A Lot In Common” Highlighting Heitkamp & Stabenow’s Common Bond
Video comes as far-left Senator campaigns for Heitkamp Stabenow consistently votes against ending estate tax Three short days after defying Michigan farmers and small business owners by voting for a massive tax increase, Senator Debbie Stabenow is descending onto North Dakota bringing her far-left agenda to the Heitkamp for Senate campaign. In light of Sen. Stabenow’s visit, the NRSC today released a new web video titled “A Lot In Common” – taken from Heitkamp’s own words this week saying that she and Sen. Stabenow have a lot in common. “There’s no question Debbie Stabenow and Heidi Heitkamp have a lot in common – both support President Obama and his plan to raise taxes on small business, both are ardent backers of ObamaCare and both have been feverishly fundraising across the country to ensure Harry Reid remains Senate Majority Leader – we can only hope that Heidi Heitkamp and Sen. Stabenow…
Despite Heidi Heitkamp’s Promise, The Cost Of Healthcare Continues To Rise In North Dakota
ANOTHER FAILED OBAMACARE PROMISE FROM HEIDI HEITKAMP Just one day after Heidi Heitkamp told North Dakota voters that her main concern is lowering the cost of health care and two short years after she called ObamaCare a “legacy vote” that would make it more affordable for small businesses to offer healthcare to employees, a new report today from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reveals that the price of healthcare continues to increase. Since the healthcare bill has been signed into law, costs have risen by 9 percent and the average premium has risen by $1,300. They could rise as much as $2,500 according to today’s CBO report. As the CBO reports: The additional enrollees [i.e., those previously projected to enroll in Medicaid, but who will now receive Exchange subsidies in light of the Court’s ruling] are likely to spend more on health care, on average, than those previously expected…
Obama, Heitkamp Want Higher Taxes On Small Businesses, But Can’t Explain How That Will Create More North Dakota Jobs
The National Republican Senatorial Committee today issued the following statement regarding President Obama’s call for higher taxes on job creators, a position that has been echoed by Heidi Heitkamp: “President Obama and Heidi Heitkamp have long supported higher taxes, bigger government and increased spending, so their support for yet another massive tax hike on North Dakota small businesses comes as little surprise. But in the wake of another weak jobs report, a massive health care bill that increases taxes on the middle class and a growing $15 trillion debt, why can’t Heidi Heitkamp answer one very simple question – how does raising taxes on North Dakota small businesses create jobs?” — Lance Trover, NRSC Spokesman BACKGROUND … FLASHBACK – President Obama: “The Last Thing You Want To Do Is Raise Taxes In The Middle Of A Recession.” (President Obama, Remarks During An Interview With NBC, Elkhart, IN, 8/5/09) OBAMA-HEITKAMP SOLUTION…
Supreme Court Upholds Heidi Heitkamp’s Massive Tax Increase & Medicare Cuts On North Dakota Seniors
Decision Sets The Stakes For November’s Election Two years ago Heidi Heitkamp, despite knowing it would raise taxes, told North Dakota voters that ObamaCare was a “legacy vote” that made sense and today the Supreme Court has affirmed Heitkamp’s decision to put President Obama’s agenda ahead of North Dakota seniors and small businesses. In doing so, the Court has made clear what is at stake in November’s election. “The Supreme Court’s decision makes clear that the only way to stop the massive tax increases, government spending, and cuts to Medicare contained in ObamaCare is to ensure Heidi Heitkamp does not make it to the United States Senate,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Spokesman Lance Trover said today. BACKGROUND…. LEGACY VOTE TAXES

Like Tony Bennett, Heidi Heitkamp Left Her Heart In San Francisco
Senator Feinstein Hosting A Posh Fundraiser For Heitkamp For Tony Bennett his love waited in San Francisco, for Heidi Heitkamp today it’s thousands in campaign contributions from Dianne Feinstein (D-California) and her liberal pals. For a mere $15,000 anyone from San Francisco can personally claim that they’re a friend of Heidi Heitkamp, while for $35,000 any Bay Area liberal can be an official sponsor of Heitkamp’s campaign to “bring the North Dakota Way to Washington.” What’s also worth noting is how exactly Heidi’s friend Sen. Feinstein is on the issues. In 2011, Feinstein voted with President Obama 99% of the time, she opposes the Keystone XL Pipeline, and the liberal group Americans for Democratic Action in 2008 labeled her more liberal than her counterpart Barbara Boxer. Heitkamp and Feinstein can also swap stories about their unwavering support of ObamaCare. “It’s funny how the road from North Dakota to Washington keeps…
Heitkamp Continues Raising Money With Liberal Icons
Spends Weekend Raising Money With Far Left Fellow Democratic Senate Candidates If for some reason you didn’t see Heidi Heitkamp walking the streets of Fargo, Williston, or Bismarck this weekend, it’s probably because she was 2,000 miles away walking the streets of Boston and New York raising money with liberal icons and fellow Democratic Senate candidates Elizabeth Warren and Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin. Heitkamp spent the weekend raising money with Warren – the self-proclaimed founder of the Occupy movement – the one who Barbara Streisand praised for her unrepentant liberalism. She was also fundraising with Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin – the person who believes ObamaCare didn’t go far enough. Notably, both Warren and Baldwin are avowed opponents of GOP efforts to move forward on the Keystone Pipeline, even though Heitkamp claims to support its construction when back home in North Dakota. And, don’t forget the goal of this fundraising junket is simply…
