Rush Limbaugh was talking about this today on his program and apparently during the forum Gingrich was "praising Hillary Clinton's knowledge about and commitment to improving health care in America."Are you kidding me ????

More praise for hellary...the Bushes getting all 'buddy-buddy' with the clintoons and now Gingrich blowin smoke up Her Thighness' caboose....WHAT THE H*ll IS GOING ON HERE ????

[demlosers]

"WHAT THE H*ll IS GOING ON HERE ????"

You took the words right out of my mouth.

[OpusatFR]

Who did you vote for in the last election? Republicrats or Demicans?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Go away, Newt. Ya bother me.

[camle]

baloney! the bigger the database the more prone it is to errors. remember why we can all get "free" credit reports annually?

i don't want my medical records available to any hacker/cracker/bug/virus/etc.!

imagine someone accessing your medical file and planting a record stating that you are being treated for HIV. Then imagine that information being leaked.

Gingrich said current methods of estimating the cost of health care IT are "irrational" because they only consider initial investments and do not take long-term savings into account (Belopotosky, TechnologyDaily, 5/10).

Gingrich said the federal government should invest $3 billion to $5 billion in health care IT

It's always the same crap. If the long-term savings are significant, THE FRIGGIN' PRIVATE SECTOR WILL DO IT.

Newt, you're demonstrating that you're part of the problem in Washington, not part of any solution.

[demlosers]

This crap makes me wonder if there is something to this new world order stuff conspiracy in Washington.

[Kidan]

It seems that more and more republs are becoming leftists.


Next time vote Constitutinalist.

[camle]

maybe the hildebeast is thinking of switching parties, and the newt is trying to prepare the faithful?

[skip_intro]

Gingrich said the federal government should invest $3 billion to $5 billion in health care

Does anyone else remember when it was only the Democrats that called increased government spending "investments"?

[1Old Pro]

First Jeffords, now Newt. Is it any wonder Conservative Republicans are crying out for some Conservative republican leadership?

[OldFriend]

Hey Neut.......kiss my grits.

[Cecily]

Newt's been praising the Hildebeast's "work" for some time now. It seems he's going down the primrose path with Lindsey Graham.

Never trust Newt.

Gingrich proposed a voluntary system for U.S. residents to create and maintain personal electronic health records. Each user would have a unique identification number that doctors could use to access the person's medical history -- a step that Gingrich said could decrease medical errors.

Well if they computerize it that should fix everything.< /sarcasm>

On a recent trip to the doctor to get stitches:

Nurse: Are you allergic to anything
Me: Yes, Neosporin
Nurse puts a bright orange allergy label on my file and writes Neosporin on it.

A few minutes later after the physician's assistant has finished stitching me he gets out a little packet of something and is ready to put it on me.

Me: What's that?
Physician's Assistant: It's an antibiotic
Me: Which one?
PA: Neosporin.
Me: Look at the label on my chart and start over.
PA: Oops!

They can't handle bright orange labels with warnings I gave them 5 minutes before. How would a computer work any better?

[lilylangtree]

Neutered Newt having the support of Hitlery is not good.

[Spirited]

I couldn't put it that way but you have assessed the current climate and asked the question that many of us want answered.

I think they are planning on handing the Presidency to the Dems for the next go round just as Poppy did for Billy-son.

According to Gingrich, privacy concerns over health care identification numbers would be alleviated because the system would be voluntary. He estimated that about 90% to 95% of U.S. residents would use such a system Like if you do it voluntarily, nobody can invade your privacy? What he meant was that nobody would be FORCED to give up their privacy right away, but most people would give up their privacy anyway, probably without knowing it. The rest will join when no doctor will treat them without their compliance.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Do you think the DU folks are up in arms about how their Queen Hillary could be working with the evil genius Newt?

[RightWhale]

It might be interesting to note that all medical records are going digital. Including x-rays, cat scans, whatever it is possible to digitize. Happening with or without the former Speaker or presidential hopeful Clinton.

[PhiKapMom]

I don't trust Gingrich and absolutely zero reason for the Feds to fund a database.
