Pay close attention. Newt Gingrich wants to replace Obamacare with Gingrichcare.

[rwilson99]

Oh vomit... The other 90% is RomneyCare.

[ez]

Yeah, I support Gingrich but I don’t like this idea. We don’t need national healthcare...no matter how benign it will eventually be perverted into British style government driven bureaucracy. We need to convince Newt to leave healthcare to the open market. If I had my way I would outlaw health insurance and force doctors and hospitals to accept what people could afford to pay.

[parksstp]

Don’t leave us in suspense NOOT!

Which 300 pages isn’t crap?

Is it the part about requiring indiviudals to purchase healthcare?
Is it Death Panels?
What is it?

Like normal, Gingrich wants a big government solution to Healthcare that he thinks he will be able to make work. Good luck trying to convince him otherwise, because, he is after all, the smartest guy in the room.

[MichaelCorleone]

Yeah, the blank pages.

[cripplecreek]

And the EPA with the ESA.

[Parley Baer]

Depends on what we are talking about. If it involves the free market I am all for it. It is to easy to pile on when all the facts are not known.

Love Newt's Healthcare Solutions. With these Patient Power reforms, healthcare can be transformed from an anchor on our economy to an engine. From a broken, fragmented system to a coordinated, innovative system that delivers more choices at lower cost for all Americans. 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 http://www.newt.org/solutions/healthcare

There is absolutely nothing good in ObamaCare. Newt is an unprincipled gadfly.

[Solson]

And you want to replace it with hoodatcare. Me, I prefer solsoncare.

[Brilliant]

The bottom line is that none of these candidates are worthy of your vote.

[BunnySlippers]

OMG! NO Newt!

[Graewoulf]

” - - - but would reinstate “a little over 10 percent” of it.”

Good ol’ Nanny-State Newt. He never met a Federal Safety Net he didn’t like.

Sorry Newt, we cannot afford you, as we are TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY.

[rfp1234]

It’s like saying “Well, at least Mussolini made the trains run on time”.
But first, we need to overthrow Obamalini. Then we can deal with the trains.

[Varsity Flight]

2700-300= 2400 pages

And so as we WAIT and WAIT and WAIT and WAIT ...for so called repeal, with 2400 pages of.....

.... then has “Mr. Contract”, while we WAIT AND WAIT AND WAIT, signed a CONTRACT to promise by order of the so called Health Secretary, to EXEMPT all the people as his first act, along with all the other exemptions, based on non-discrimination?

[Yaelle]

Can’t we do better than Newt Gingrich??? He wont please us conservatives any more than bush did!! Probably less!!

/whine

[Gilbo_3]

about 300 pages that are pretty good, a little over 10 percent, but they should be part of the replace document," Gingrich said.

for yer amusement...ole noot knows theres *something* big gov can do to help us...

is this the evolution of the point shaving ???

[Rick_Michael]

you’re full of it...

[COgamer]

This is no surprise... Newt’s support for forcing people to purchase health insurance is well known. Course, knowing the mood on FR lately this has now retroactively probably become a brilliant idea. I can’t wait til 2013 if Newt wins and people start pretending they didn’t vigorously back him. “How do these RINOS get in power? How does the media keep choosing our candidates?”

So, as stated, Gingrich's goal is universal coverage.

How is that achievable with no individual mandate and no employer mandate?

Help me out here.

[dforest]

I can’t handle this. Gingrich is to big government for me.

Sorry
