Appearing on Hannity Monday night, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich promised that if health care reform passes, Republicans will make repealing it a major campaign issue in 2010 and 2012.
“Let me make a straightforward promise. These bills can’t be implemented before 2013. If they pass a bill which is a disaster, the number one campaign issue in 2010 and 2012 is going to be repeal the bill,” he said.
“We repealed the catastrophic health legislation that was a disaster. We can repeal this monstrosity. If they’re determined to put something bad in the country, the country can rise up, defeat the people who do it and repeal it,” he went on.

As Think Progress points out, Gingrich was referring to Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act of 1988, which was repealed in 1989.
