I find Gingrich a cartoonish character. He was cheating on his wife while he was going after Clinton for cheating on his wife, that and serving his wife divorce papers in the cancer ward so he could marry some other bimbo (who became cheated-upon wife #2) are simply things he will never live down, he's like the GOP's Ed Kennedy, forever prevented by Chappaquidick from becoming POTUS, yet always treated by the press as if he could be, we have Gingrich, forever tainted by his rank hypocrisy, chasing Clinton's sexual indiscretions while he hornballed it up, all the while playing Christian Boy to Jerry Falwell and Pat Robinson - in the end a man morally equivalent to the meth-snorting gay preacher. I really wish the GOP would get this clown and the other 90's retreads off the stage so we can start having real discussions on what to do for this nation. Get out of the AM Radio time warp, maybe they would find an audience.

But surprisingly, I agree with Newt somewhat on point#2 - the only real solution is a single national health insurance company that holds a government chartered monopoly like the old ATT. A government bureau thing or any solution that keeps the current mish mash of competing insurance providers in the loop are both stupid solutions.
