"Democrat Dr. Amerish "Ami" Bera is challenging GOP Rep. Dan Lungren, pictured, in California's 3rd Congressional District, where the health care debate is a pivotal issue. Lungren is a leading foe of the Democrats' health plan in Congress who openly questions the magnitude of the health care problem. ...
Bera served as Sacramento County's chief medical officer and spent four years as associate dean overseeing admissions to the UC Davis Medical School where he taught and is an internist on the medical staff....A product of a public medical school, Bera has spent his career in public health, treating all patients, regardless of whether they have insurance."
