Criticism of Gingrich regarding the individual mandate clause began in earnest Sunday when, during his interview, Gregory asked Gingrich to respond to the controversy surrounding
Mitt Romney, health care, and individual mandate. Gingrich replied, “Well, I agree that all of us have a responsibility to pay — help pay for health care. And, I think that there are ways to do it that make most libertarians relatively happy. I’ve said consistently we ought to have some requirement that you either have health insurance or you post a bond.”
