P.S. Newt himself said he tried to use a mandate approach to help defeat hillarycare.
hillarycare died because the American people got a clue about it without a mandate being needed as an alternative.
Newt said eventually he came to think the mandate is unconstitutional...I would add that his conversion on that is fairly recent...except he tries to evade that point by saying he kept on looking for some version of a mandate, including the idea of someone having to post a bond if they didn’t buy insurance.
Perry has always believed a federal mandate is unconstitutional.
Rick Perry does not want the Federal Government to control healthcare...certainly not beyond what they already do in Medicare.
Newt has a different aim...it’s just a matter for him to find the right combination of legislative points to blend together into a federal plan.
Perry vs Gingrich on healthcare...world’s apart.
For the record, I want a CONSERVATIVE to run and defeat Obozo.
That means I don’t want Mittens or Newt or Nutty Ron Paul.
The perfect situation would be Sarah Palin - but that’s not going to happen.
Here is Newt supporting Romneycare/Obamacare way back in 2008. /s
