Gingrich’s Health Care Group Supports a Mandate

[The T]

As long as it doesn't destroy our medical system and force the doctors to quit their jobs....As long as government gives us the people the choice within our medical care...I can live with it...

We need a system that the avg joe can pay for and one that cares for the people in need. This system must not hurt the people that provide it either. A fair system.

Well, that is the point. If you want a cheaper system, you may not get doctors.

And so what ?

Wal-Mart is now thinking about getting into this business. They will do the same thing Walgreens currently does. You go see a NURSE who will treat your sniffles. If it is something worse...they send you on.

It will keep costs low.

Just what does the American Public think it is "entitled" to in terms of medical care ? All of it..with no pay. They should go somewhere else.

Would this be the same 50% that pays no federal income tax ?

Precisely. There is no free lunch or healthcare. SOMEONE is paying for it.

The GOP candidate attacks Romneycare, but his for-profit policy shop backs its most controversial provision.

Snip!

That's a mandate. That's the current position of Gingrich's Center for Health Transformation. There's no ambiguity. (The Gingrich campaign did not respond to a request for comment.)

Impossible! That would mean that Newt is a lying, duplicitous gas bag!

I can't wait until they start to try and bust the power structure of the AMA. I want it so that my neighbor can write me a prescription. Who is the government to tell what I do and don't have access too ?

Harry Ried giving out medical advice and direction ? Based on how much the AMA donates to his campaign.

Does the left even think ?

Did you really just post a picture showing the poor having to many taxes when all the taxes he is carrying are paid by the rich as well in that picture? Not even getting into the fact that past Gas taxes, payroll taxes and so on the rich pay vastly more than the poor. Also to note, the tiny capital gains tax is missing on the poor person's back, just as all the taxes the poor person has on their back is missing from the rich persons back... Very tricking, if your knowingly being dishonest.

Now I'm not attacking the poor, simply pointing out how that cartoon was aimed at the politically stupid.

It's actually just amazing you posted such bias thoughtless trash here... I'll bet you defend it too....

 

[Avorysuds]

I'd also like to add Dot Com, are you for more taxes or for less taxes? Because you seem to believe that higher taxes are a clear burden for people in the picture you posted. Should everyone be as bogged down with taxes as you claim the poor person is in your picture? Even with an unavoidable 100% tax on the rich, the revenues wouldn't even pay a quarter of the yearly deficit spending we currently do... So how much would say a 20% increase cover?

I think the answer is letting fat people die, being that is the main cause for death.... Why should we all pay for the problem when we all know all it will do is what it has been doing, allowing more people to feed themselves to death.

Fits in with the new Republican motto, Survival of the Fittest.

I dono about a "New Republican motto" but Darwin sure believed in it... Yeah, killing yourself is a bad habit, why should others pay for it? No seriously, give us the answer.

Indeed....especially when ALL citizens have the same oppritunity...until the Government comes along and tries to ensure the same outcome.

As Human attitudes/behaviour are concerned? It's as if they are trying to make the impossible...Mandatory.

The fact that Gingrich is where he is today is clear evidence that Republicans do not have good viable candidates. His mouth and his actions are simply not in gear. He condemns Obamacare but is willing to condom a mandate. He condemns Fannie Mae but was paid over a 1.6 million bucks to act as their historian. 1.6 million bucks to act as a historian? I don't know what he did for that money, but I seriously doubt he wrote any history books.

That SOB is just another bloviating, bloated, RW, teabagged, lying bastard.

I don't know WTF he think he's fooling with this "historian" BS. The bastard was a paid lobbyiest. No one's going to fall for it. And if the teatards are stupid enough to put him up against Obama their going to get a WHOPPING dose of....


GTFOH!!!!!!!

It's very hypocritical of the left to go after Gingrich who has supported a healthcare mandate back in the 90's when they support the same thing now. Fuck all yall

And where was he during Hillarycare?

The guy was a professor and likely the most intelligent of the republican field, but really who outside of Mitt could beat Obama in 2012? If the economy improves then 4 more years of Obama are quite likely. We all have to admit that.

If he is for a mandate then why is the left attacking him? I don't believe in throwing the poor out on the street or out of the ER. We will have to figure something out, but I don't believe what Obama preposed is nearly what we need.

 

[ScienceRocks]

When you think about it Mitt Romney idea of leaving health care to the states is a good idea. WTF is it to the federal government??? I thought any power that isn't within the consitution was to the states, so Romney is right. Yet, they bitch as they think a liberal state shouldn't have that right.

The short answer to your question is if you don't know, I'm wasting my time telling you. In this country, we place a high value on human life. Regardless of whether a person is ill because of addiction to drugs, alcohol, eating, tobacco, or whatever we try to save their lives. We try to rehabilitate criminals and rescue kids from gangs even though the chances of success are small. We treat the seriously ill even if the odds of survival are low. To some I suppose, the billions we spend in these ways are wasteful. To other, it's what sets us apart from inhumane barbaric societies where survival of fittest is a way of life.

Because they fear he can beat obama which makes them racist.

I think both sides have their weaknesses
Right-Wants to go back to the 19th century and cares mostly about the doctor and the profit. They maybe right, but we're no longer that society.
Left-Wants to give free care to everyone no matter....FUCK the doctor as they consider them as no better then anyone else. Their mind set doesn't work in the real world, but helping people in need is the right thing to do. They're emotionally driven and I can't blame them for falling into this feeling.

Right some times acts without a heart
left some times acts without a brain

we need our medical system to be reformed into something that has A BRAIN and has a heart. That's what's important. We're a society in the 21st century, NOT the 19th century as the right believes or the mid 20th century as the left believes within the USSR.
