Gingrich Endorses Obamacare

Once again Newt Gingrich has found his way to the hot seat. Gingrich has spent the leadup to the state's presidential primary making Mitt Romney out to be "Obama's republican twin" by accusing Romney's Massachusetts healthcare reform law as being Obamacare. Recently a conference call was unearthed in which Gingrich came out in support for Obamacare. Gingrich said "We believe that everyone must have health insurance, or if you are an absolute libertarian, we would allow you to post a bond, but we would not allow people to be free-riders, failing to insure themselves and then show up at the emergency room with no means of payment." At this point I think its safe to say I will not be voting for Gingrich.

  1. I wont be voting for him either but he is good about always keeping his name in the press the best that he can. No publicity is bad publicity i guess....

  2. Yes, everybody should have a mean of access to sustain physical health. But is it financially feasible for everybody? Typical question. How does Gingrich envision Americans to do so? Exactly the same method as the Presidents'?
