Since most Americans do not support Obamacare, what’s your view of how Newt’s support for an individual mandate to purchase health insurance might affect his candidacy in the general election?

Newt has been working for two years to repeal Obamacare and supports the lawsuit brought by 26 states for repeal. Heard it from his own mouth last night.

How does that square with his support for an individual mandate?

Apart from the constitutional question, it concerns me that Newt apparently was unaware of just how deeply the individual mandate was opposed by the American people, particularly conservatives.

Does it concern you that Newt supports and finds no problem with an individual mandate to purchase health insurance, the same type of mandate that was key to Romneycare and Obamacare (actually Hillarycare, too — in fact, it’s key to all SOCIALIZED MEDICINE programs)?
