| Gingrich Blasts House GOP's Medicare Plan |
| 2011-05-16 |
| Mr. Gingrich also said he would like to see the mandate implemented at the state level, with states experimenting with alternative approaches. But he said he should apply to all Americans. Seems about right to me. And for those who can't afford it, they should have to do some kind of service if able in order to defray the costs. Like build a double fence along the US-Mexican border. Or plant mines between the double fences. Or capture alligators for use in the moat between the fences. And for those who do poor quality work, they can feed the alligators. |

| #3 If required by the government, another tax. Period. And for historically notoriously substandard government beaurocratic "medical" services. |

| #1 In the same interview Sunday, on NBC's "Meet the Press," Mr. Gingrich backed a requirement that all Americans buy health insurance, complicating a Republican line of attack on President Barack Obama's health law. You just lost my vote, commie. I hope enough people show up for the primaries to give you a well-deserved boot. |
