Nov 2011

In response to a follow-up question from Charles Krauthammer about whether he opposed the mandate as a matter of policy or constitutionality, Gingrich replied, “I believe that it is unconstitutional for the Congress to require you to buy something…because then the Congress could require you to do anything.”

This is the problem Cult of Personality candidates like Newt always face. Their record always falls way short of the PR Campaign spin about them

“If the hospitals can’t turn anyone away, then they can’t stay open without some kind of public subsidy. If the public laws impose the requirement that all hospitals with working emergency rooms must accept all incoming patients regardless of their financial or health conditions, then the hospitals must either raise more money or go out of business.”

You are correct, the money quote.

Until these laws are repealed and market forces are allowed to return to medicine, there is no solution to the problem.

Life is “hard, brutish, and short” ... people should be responsible for themselves and their families.

Sorry if I sound like a cold hearted bastard, but that is the reality of the situation. People are not entitled to a home, food, car, cell phone, etc... what most of us would consider “necessities” of life ... why should medical care be any different? It is a commodity like anything else.
