Gingrich speech in Derry New Hampshire
Paul Ryan’s plan to overhaul Medicare is really creating a controversy in Congress lately. This obviously contributed to yesterdays defeat of a Republican House candidate in New York’s special election.
Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich spoke at Derry Medical Center in New Hampshire today and delivered an entire speech on healthcare without even mentioning the overhaul that seems to be causing such an uproar.
Gingrich also focused on platform less controversial with the GOP repealing President Obama’s health care reform in favor of a localized approach.
“It’s one thing to have personal health decisions decided locally by you, your doctor, your pharmacist,” Gingrich said. “It’s a very different, dangerous system if those decisions are made by a Washington bureaucrat who doesn’t know you.”
Gingrich commits to work to repeal the overhaul, which he called, “unconstitutional, unaffordable, unworkable and stunningly unfair.”
Gingrich however favors tax credits for individuals buying insurance and the expansion of health savings accounts.
Gingrich went further to say that Obama’s reform leads to corruption, as politically connected organizations are exempted from complying from government mandates. He also said that the cost of government subsidies for insurance would lead to “ratioing by a nameless, faceless, unaccountable board of government bureaucrats.”
Regarding the qeustion for the growing number of insured youth under the reform’s requirement that insureers let parents’ policies cover children until the age of 26, he said, “If you tkae a 2,800 page bill, you can find 200 pages that are OK. The other 2,600 are a disaster.”
A Derry retiree asked why “insurance company bureaucracies” controlling health care are better than government doing the same, Gingrich said he is not for “private bureaucrats” either.
