Newt did not want an overhaul eliminating medicare as the false quote"medicare withering on the vine" which is not in context but added CHOICES.

Who said "withering on the vine"?

As I recall Gingrich's plan was to knock out one piece of Medicare after the other, until the system collapsed and was replaced by a private solution. Certainly I could be wrong, but I don't remember him saying anything about expanding the system by 40%. That doesn't seem in character for Newt circa 1994.
