Newt the ethanol lobbyist

and newt's not an establishment guy?

what color is the sky on your home planet?

Well, he must not be, given the way they've gone batshit crazy at the prospect of him being ahead.

You see, the model of the GOP is this. Finding ways to help the rich get richer, but the fact is, that doesn't get a lot of votes. So they pay lip service to the social conservatives and the defense conservatives and the small government conservatives.

Newt saved their asses, really. If Clinton had been given his way, we'd have socialized medicine and a much bigger nanny state. Newt was the guy who fought the fight they were too gutless to have.

But I often say about the "Old Man Potter" wing of the GOP is that they usually have to be saved from themselves.

And yet Newt supported the single payer system, which is way more socialistic than mandating that everyone have insurance.

27 Reasons Why Newt Gingrich Would Be A Really, Really Bad President

That's not what she said. She said that he supported single payer, not a mandate.

Incidently, supporting a mandate in 1993 wasn't such a bad idea, compared to what Hillary was proposing. But that was back when you could get health insurance for a reasonable price.

Today it would cost $10,000 to get insurance for a family when the median family income is $50,000. That's what makes a mandate so onerous.

Newt supported "Obamacare."
 
Newt supported a private sector solution...

Clearly, that's not what ObamaCare is, because ObamaCare also imposes a lot of restrictions on the Insurance industry that essentially makes them public utilities.

Let's take a look at that word "MANDATE" I don't care what year it is, it still means the same thing forcing people by the government to buy a service at a price they do not want to make. .

Well, the alternative would be "let them die".

Because once you've put a mandate on the health providers that they are obligated to provide care regardless of your ability to pay, you have to pay for it somehow.

I frankly don't think that the mandate is the best way to go, but I don't have a lot of better solutions..... do you?

I also don't think the uninsured were the most pressing problem. The most pressing problem is the costs of health care are going up at thrice the rate of inflation, which is putting health care out of everyone's reach.

"Obamacare" is a private sector solution. You don't much about the insurance industry if you think the industry was not already subject to a whole lot of restrictions.

But nice try.

The ones ObamaCare imposed were a lot more onerous, such as eliminating "pre-existing conditions".

Which is really the equivlent of letting you buy auto insurance AFTER you've crashed your car into the wall.

You keep telling yourself that if it makes you sleep better.

Insurance is one of the most regulated industries in the country. They weren't public utilities before healthcare reform and they won't be afterwards.

Uh, yeah, actually, they are.

If you tell them they have to cover everyone and they can't refuse to make payments and the government will make up their shortfalls, they are a public utility at that point.

They are the Post Office or ComEd.

The problem with ObamneyCare (really, there's no difference between the two) is that it doesn't address the real problem. The real problem is that health care is increasing in price at three times the rate of inflation, and has been doing so since the 1990's.

It simply makes people who are not customers into unwilling customers and increases the money pool, but it doesn't address the underlying problem.

And if the courts strike down the individual Mandate while leaving the restrictions on refusing payments intact, that will just speed up the demise of the industry, because people won't buy insurance until they get sick.
