Mike Rounds in Sunday Political Talk Show interviews during 2013-2015

On Government Reform: America is not broken, but Washington is

MIKE ROUNDS: Washington's dysfunctional. It's got to be fixed. America is not broken, but Washington is. And part of it says is that South Dakota common sense can help. It means you work side by side with other people to get the job done. I think the Republican majority now has an opportunity to show that we can actually govern, we can put together an agenda, and we can execute on it. That means getting results.

On Health Care: Remove medical devices tax & payment advisory board

ROUNDS: I think the Republican majority now has an opportunity to show that we can actually govern. That means getting results. It means you go back in and you take up on ObamaCare, or the Affordable Care Act section by section--

Q: Dismantling healthcare is a priority? You don't think that's going to add to the dysfunction of Congress, though?

ROUNDS: I think there are bits and pieces of it. You start out with section by section and you do it in such a fashion that you pick those items which have to be fixed. You start out, look, there's a section in it, the independent payment advisory board, which needs to be eliminated in my opinion. The medical devices tax that are there right now has to be taken apart. So I think there are pieces in there which Republicans and Democrats alike recognize have got to be fixed.
