Newt attacked Romney’s plan as a big-government plan. Romney said they got the idea from Gingrich, which Gingrich denied. Then Romney came back at Gingrich and said, but you supported the individual mandate, which Gingrich admitted. So, I guess, at some point in the past, Gingrich supported some type of government-forced healthcare. I mean, what else is the individual mandate, except the government forcing me to buy health insurance?
Yes, I wonder what mandate Newt backed? I’m going to research that. That’s a new one on me. Just the concept of a mandate? I know the Heritage Foundation backed the concept of a mandate in some way. Will need to figure out what’s the story here.
