According to Newt:

“All of us have a responsibility to help pay for health care.”

“I agree that all of us have a responsibility to pay — help pay for health care.”

MSNBC’s David Gregory: But that is the individual mandate, is it not?

“It’s a variation on it.”

“In 2008, according to an AP report, Gingrich suggested ‘insurance mandates for people who earn more than $75,000 a year.’ Two years later, he was telling Sean (http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Sean+Hannity) Hannity (http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Sean+Hannity) at Fox News that health insurance mandates were unconstitutional.”
