I already posted this once on this thread, but here you go again for your convenience:

From Gingrich's website:

This comprehensive approach—cost, quality, competition, and coverage—can solve the problem of the uninsured with no individual mandate and no employer mandate. Everyone would be able to obtain essential health care and coverage when needed. For those who are too poor to buy health insurance, states will have more flexibility to provide them with the assistance they need to buy it. For those who nevertheless choose not to purchase coverage and then become too sick to do so, high risk pools will provide access to coverage. Once you have health insurance, you are assured you can keep it. By contrast, even Obamacare for all its trillions in taxes, spending, new entitlements, and new bureaucracy still does not achieve universal coverage.

Gingrich is contrasting his healthcare plan to Obamacare and saying that his plan, UNLIKE Obamacare, will actually achieve UNIVERSAL COVERAGE.

May I suggest that before you accuse someone of making stuff up, you ask for clarification or read through the thread?

Thanks.

LOL, did you read your own post? There is no individual mandate. Can you please tell what is wrong with universal coverage that occurs without a govenment mandate?

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.
