“Individuals who can afford to purchase health insurance and simply choose not to place an unnecessary burden on a system that is on the verge of collapse; these free-riders undermine the entire health system…

“The Newt Notes essay backed the Massachusetts law's requirement that most residents carry insurance or pay a fee, which is at the center of President Obama's health law and next year's Supreme Court case over whether the federal requirement violates the Constitution.”
And conservative counterfeit Rick Santorum was on board with Newt’s approach as early as 1994: “Santorum … would require individuals to buy health insurancerather than forcing employers to pay for employee benefits.”
