Yeah, I support Gingrich but I don’t like this idea. We don’t need national healthcare...no matter how benign it will eventually be perverted into British style government driven bureaucracy. We need to convince Newt to leave healthcare to the open market. If I had my way I would outlaw health insurance and force doctors and hospitals to accept what people could afford to pay.
Right, from each according to their ability to each according to their need. Yep, that should work!
My great grandfather accepted what people could pay. ,
Lots of chicken was eaten in the household.
Polls have been pretty clear that although Americans are very much against Obamacare, they are in favor of reforming the healthcare system.
Medicare is going bankrupt. Insurance costs keep going up. These are problems that a Republican candidate is going to have to answer. And simply saying to repeal Obamacare and replace it with nothing is a losing strategy.
And during the whole Obamacare debate, Republicans never argued against some type of reform. House Republicans even offered their own version.
That ain't gonna happen. In Newt's mind, he is way more smarter than you, and he knows what is best for you. Support Newt at your own peril, because government intrusion into individual health insurance will be cemented with a Gingrich Presidency. Why settle? Let's get a candidate who recognizes that government is the problem and cannot possibly be the solution. Gingrich still clings to the progressive fallacy that proper tweaking of government programs will lead to success.
“... force doctors and hospitals to accept what people could afford to pay.”
Sort of like..”thanks for the new heart, Doc, here’s a beagle.” I suspect a lot of Doctors would retire or leave for another country.
Then what do you do when you just flat can’t get a Doctor? Maybe your beagle can save you.
Have you read the actual law? If not, then nobody knows what they are talking about. There are some good things..like...CUTTING WASTE AND FRAUD. Like preventative medicine. I’m sure in those thousands of pages, there are some good ideas..I am sure Gingrich has read it. That doesn’t mean he wants the whole thing. It means he is honest and not knee jerk.

No! We need to convince you and all other Republican Primary Voters to dump Newt and switch to Bachman who has consistently supported dumping this Obomination on the ash heap of history. She's also supported the Tea Party and it's prime objection to this garbage law!!!
Newt will probably fizzle just like he did at the start of this campaign.
Obama should be getting weaker after his appearance on 60 Minutes next Sunday night!!!
A conservative needs no convincing on this point.
Force... your version of the free market at work?
The only difference between your brand of communism and obama's brands of communism is you think you are more fair than he is.

“perverted into British style government driven bureaucracy”
Anybody on Capitol Hill who seriously thinks that way needs to arrange a congressional “junket” to London to see firsthand-—and I mean talking to actual patients in addition to government people-—just how the NHS works.
Fact is, it simply DOESN’T work. The rationing sucks and the waiting time is a joke. Inefficiency and incompetence in such a huge bureaucratic system is unavoidable.
If Newt or Willard get in, we need to ride our House members HARD to convince them to stop any such nonsense. All those guys need constant reminders that the PEOPLE are watching.
