PART 1: LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS - Newt.org
REPLACE
As I carry the banner in fighting for the repeal of Obamacare, I will advocate for specific replacement health policies that will create a free market framework for healthcare, provide affordable, portable, and reliable healthcare coverage, and establish a healthcare safety net focused on those in need. This system will assure healthcare for all with no individual mandate or employer mandate of any kind.

Instead of an individual mandate penalty for not buying government approved health insurance, the federal tax code should be reformed to provide every American the choice of a generous tax credit or the ability to deduct the value of their health insurance up to a certain amount. The federal tax code should provide the same tax relief for the individual buying his own insurance as the employer providing health insurance to its employees.
This will lower costs for individuals and families, and will make it easier for people to obtain portable insurance they can take with them from job to job. If you don’t like your employer’s insurance, you get the same tax relief if you buy the insurance of your choice. Employers should also be allowed to buy individually-owned insurance for their employees, instead of non-portable, group insurance.
This approach provides a foundation of equal fairness for all, rather than the favoritism and rank discrimination of the Obamacare bureaucracies and the current system.
I hope Republican voters begin to wake up and smell the coffee here. The ONLY thing that is fueling McNewt's poll numbers is fear of Romney. Once people arise to the fact that Romney has zero chance of winning the GOP nomination, maybe then we can go about the business of nominating an actual conservative.
Here is the deal-breaker for my support of Nanny-State Newt: “ - - - establish a healthcare safety net - - - “
We can’t afford you Newt, we have been bled dry by the last two spendaholic Presidents for 9 Trillion Dollars.
We trust NO politician until the National Debt Clock has run backward to below the 5 Trillion Dollar Total National Debt amount.
Our sorry Federal Politicians have caused the Total National Debt.
Newt, if you have no plans to QUICKLY reverse the Total National Debt Clock, then withdraw on the 4 th of July, 2012.
Thus, you will be doing America a Patriotic favor, as well as give yourself time to write another book about Public Enemy Number One to America: The US Federal Government.
