Gingrich calls for major changes in health care, politics

Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich sounded more like Newt Gingrich, M.D., on Friday, diagnosing major ailments in the way the government handles everything from health care to electing presidents, and prescribing major changes to cure them.

His health plan calls for Americans to be able to store and refer to health records online, setting up personal savings and reimbursement accounts, and changing prescription insurance coverage.

Though the topic was health care, the backdrop, as usual in the earliest primary state, was politics.

...if I go and I articulate these ideas and people like them, but the candidates don't pick them up, then probably, I'll run," he said.
