Mr. Gingrich, you mentioned in your opening statement your daughter, who had to wait a year to get health insurance, and that is precisely the kind of problem that we think the Clinton plan solves.

Further than that, if she got sick while she had health insurance, under the Michel plan that you support, her premiums could triple, quadruple. Is that the kind of plan you support?
