This is the part he said more recently: “Gingrich: Well, I agree that all of us have a responsibility to pay — help pay for health care.... I've said consistently we ought to have some requirement that you either have health insurance or you post a bond.”

I was a bit sympathetic to Newt when he said that because I remember a bond being an option to out of Auto-insurance. Congress mandates that hospitals provide ‘emergency care’ for free (for those with no insurance.) In Maryland there is a emergency room tax put on the bill of all paying Patience to pay for those with no insurance.

But Newt does specify what he means by 'health care', too difficult to do on a 10 minute sales pitch interview.

How about if people could opt-out of future emergency medical care and not have to buy insurance? Unfortunately Republicans would never have the guts to propose it.
