Repeal this.

Newt Gingrich wants to repeal health care reform. So claims about every republican since it passed several weeks ago. Many have since backed down from this stance. So my question to you, Newt, which part would you start with? Allow insurers again to discriminate against people with health conditions? Take away tax breaks for small businesses? Stop helping poor people with their health insurance premiums? This sounds good to many hard-core conservatives, but to most of the country, this will not fly. You tout this bill as being unpopular, even when most of America supports its core elements. When you look at the breakdown of who will be receiving the most help under this bill, you'll find most of these guys are represented by republicans, so I'm not sure if they'd even like this.

  1. Is it true that most of the people who get help from this bill are Republicans? ... I mean, I guess that does make sense to some extent, but aren't a lot of Republicans statistically wealthier and therefore ARE Republicans because they don't like the idea of high taxes on their income?
