More evidence that Newt Gingrich has been on the wrong side of every aspect of the health care debate. In this video, from a discussion with congressional staffers in 2003, he compares the government’s role in health care to that which it played in building the interstate highway system … sigh.

The latest Kaiser health tracking poll shows that fewer Americans favor ObamaCare than ever. Even more startling, the latest decline was driven by Democrats:
The October health tracking poll finds a more negative overall public mood about the health reform law, driven largely by changes in support for the law among Democrats.
Democrats? Yep, a 20% dive in one […]
There’s a reason why ObamaCare and RomneyCare bear a close family resemblance. They share the same parents. During 2009, when ObamaCare was conceived, Romney’s people and Obama’s people were spending a lot of time together:
White House visitor logs obtained by NBC News revealed that three of Romney’s healthcare advisers had up to a dozen meetings with senior administration […]
In a comment on the preceding post about Herman Cain, “Milla” asks (in reference to single-payer health care), “Do you have a better solution?”
As a matter of fact, I do. Or, rather, Congressman Paul Ryan does. Here he is explaining it in speech to the Hoover Institution at Stanford University:
Because Ryan is a serious man making […]
It has been 5 years since Mitt Romney signed the Massachusetts universal coverage bill into law. And, although most people in the state now have “coverage,” the health “reform” law has been a miserable failure at controlling costs:
Massachusetts’ uninsured rate plunged to the lowest in the nation … At the same time, health care premiums continued to […]
One of the President’s ostensible reasons for being passionate about health reform involved his mother’s alleged battles with her health insurance carrier about coverage for the illness that eventually killed her. One minor problem: It appears that a significant portion of this tale is fiction:
I remember in the last month of her life, she wasn’t thinking about […]
In this video, Paul Ryan does his usual excellent job of explaining why the President’s plan to maintain the status quo on Medicare is unsustainable. Then, he offers a workable alternative to a program that has already accumulated a $24.6 trillion unfunded liability:
One of the people who would like to have the GOP nomination for President is Mitt Romney. Romney would almost certainly do a better job than the current occupant of the White House, but he has no prayer of getting the nomination.
If he did, Obama would beat him badly. Why? Because he has no credibly on health care. That […]
One expects Mitt Romney, the former governor of a deep blue state, to come with nanny-state baggage like Romneycare. But who would have suspected conservative icon Newt Gingrich to embrace the big-government view of health care reform?
Well, Milton Wolf, for one. In his latest column for the Washington Times, Dr. Wolf correctly points out that Gingrich has succumbed to the […]
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) has put forward the only sane proposition for saving Medicare that we have seen in years, and this has predictably made him the target of hysterical and dishonest attacks from the Democrats. They have accused Ryan of a variety of dark plots including the following:
This Republican path to poverty passes like a tornado […]
