Newt Gingrich: “Let me just say to my good friend, first of all, that what you just said about the Republican plan is not true, unless…”

On the recordMarch 16, 1994
Let me just say to my good friend, first of all, that what you just said about the Republican plan is not true, unless the only things that every count in life are mandated and required by a Federal bureaucracy. Our plan allows women and their doctors to choose. I realize that if you believe in only government and bureaucracy, our plans seems invisible. But let me carry you back again to page 43 and 44 of the Clinton plan you are defending, which says you have got to be 50 years of age. Do you really believe in the plan that you are defending in this particular debate that that is a wise provision? Are you prepared to defend to every woman under 50 that her government by law, by law would block her from getting that mammogram?
