BRIAN NELSON, CNN ANCHOR: As we mentioned earlier, Republican presidential candidates were trading some shots over taxes, yesterday. On the Democratic side, Bill Bradley and Al Gore were picking up some key endorsements, and they were talking health care. CNN's Jonathan Karl has more on that.</s>JONATHAN KARL, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Emotions got the best of Bill Bradley when it came to health care, his eyes tearing up after hearing the story of a woman who has four children and no health insurance.</s>BILL BRADLEY (D), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Sometimes important when reality kind of enters a political campaign.</s>KARL: Bradley when on to tell his Salem, New Hampshire, audience that his health-care plan was the best way to help the uninsured.</s>BRADLEY: It is because of you that I have laid out the health- care plan that I have in this campaign, because I believe that every child in America should be guaranteed health insurance.</s>KARL: Health care was also the issue over in Lebanon, New Hampshire, where Vice President Al Gore picked up the endorsement of Howard Dean, governor of neighboring Vermont and himself a medical doctor. Although both Dean and Gore criticized Bradley's health plan, Gore praised his rival for putting health care on the campaign agenda.</s>AL GORE, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: He and I stand together in sharp contrast to all of the Republican candidates, who have not addressed this issue, none of whom have put out a plan in the face of 44 million Americans who have no health insurance at all.</s>KARL (on camera): And it was a day of dueling endorsements: While Gore picked up the endorsement of Vermont Governor Howard Dean, Bill Bradley was endorsed by Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber, another doctor turned politician.
