I know what the Republican/Hertitage Foundation Plan was... it was The Affordable Care Act, which they hate now, since it was implemented by a right-leaning, non-white "Democratic" president, but if it all falls apart, what's next?
Yep and Newt hailed the insurance mandate at the time calling it needed personal responsibility. And he said it again in 2007 :
In a June 2007 op-ed in the Des Moines Register, Gingrich wrote, ?Personal responsibility extends to the purchase of health insurance. Citizens should not be able to cheat their neighbors by not buying insurance, particularly when they can afford it, and expect others to pay for their care when they need it.? An ?individual mandate,? he added, should be applied ?when the larger health-care system has been fundamentally changed.?
