No. You are making things up.

Nowhere does Gingrich state he is for or plans to have Universal Health Care.

You have to make many assumptions to get from the words on his website to “Gingrich is for Universal Health Care”

Here is what you highlighted, “By contrast, even Obamacare for all its trillions in taxes, spending, new entitlements, and new bureaucracy still does not achieve universal coverage.”

You’re dreaming or inventing something that isn’t there. Read it again. All it says is Obamacare is a failure at its own objective. You’re wrong.

Gingrich will repeal ObamaCare and offer private competition as an answer.

What is Gingrich contrasting Obamacare with in that sentence, if you don’t mind me asking?

BTW, I also want to point out that there’s every possibility that Gingrich is NOT for universal coverage, even though his website says he is FOR universal coverage.

I think that because what he actually posted as the summary of his healthcare reform plan really doesn’t make sense, or at the least is missing key facts, as it stands now.

And, of course, there are lots of definitions of universal coverage, some of them quite complex. So maybe Gingrich has in mind some highly technical definition of universal coverage that isn’t synonymous with or a code word for socialized medicine or just a term the Left uses one way and the Right uses another. (How confusing.)

Maybe Gingrich just didn’t choose his words carefully enough and he never meant to state or imply that the goal of his plan was universal coverage. Or that he meant some kind of universal coverage that is different from that other universal coverage? Maybe he’ll walk it back or get a new editor?
