MARGARET GILMOUR: Fourteen years ago, I learned I had breast cancer. Medicare saved my life. Rick Berg is worth $24 million, but he voted to increase Medicare premiums by $6400 to pay for a tax break for millionaires, like himself. I wouldn’t be alive today is Medicare cost that much.

HEITKAMP: I’m Heidi Heitkamp, and I approve this message because I’ll work to strengthen Medicare, not destroy it.
