Gingrich has long felt that each individual should be responsible for paying for their own healthcare. Some statistics indicate 1/3 of the uninsured live in household with incomes over %75000...he believes everyone should pay on a sliding scale with vouchers going to lower income types...that’s part of his solution...

I have NO problem with individual responsibility. However, Obamacare mandates everything that has anything to do with healthcare. NO individual truly can have responsibility for their own healthcare when government commissions themselves as the controller and provider of all things healthcare.

Great idea. People certainly should be responsible for their own healthcare.

But, if the solution is for the government to mandate that everybody must buy health insurance, not so great.

Instead, why don't we make it possible for everybody to afford health insurance...and let it go at that?
