A Proposal for new methods of security and health payments

 In a recent article from USA Today (http://content.usatoday.com/communities/onpolitics/post/2011/09/newt-gingrich-contract-with-america-presidential-race-/1) politician Newt Gingrich had proposed a set of new ideas for which the public can pay for things such as: Social security, Taxes, and Health insurance. His proposal also touched ground  on a few other governmental processes, including: illegal immigration, energy production and national security. This proposition of Gingrich could have a positive effect on the way we Americans operate in these situations, for instance on Gingrich's proposal for health care, he would give more options to the elderly which consist of staying with the federal government medicare program or choose to get financial aid to get coverage from a plan of their choosing. I think that having the option of choice is always a great thing to have, but now whether the choices are of any good is a different story. For me the one of the best ideas that Gingrich had was a proposal for a new system that allows younger people to have the option to pay into personal savings accounts, although the only thing that i was curious about was at what age did he have in mind, other than that the idea sounds good because it's giving the younger generation (such as myself) more options, and in my opinion the these options are trying to give us some leeway for the future so in some way, shape, or form the US citizens can have something to look forward too.
