On the recordMarch 16, 1994
Mr. Gingrich, two of your colleagues who are debating here tonight are for a plan that I do not think you endorse, but it is a plan that at least tries to see that everybody gets covered. They have a family mandate to see that everybody is covered with insurance. I know there is a debate raging in your party, it probably was raging in Annapolis in your meeting with Members of the other body about health care about this issue. Can you come out for and work with us for a plan that insures that everybody is guaranteed private health insurance?
