(The Detroit Free Press)- Stand by for Newt.

Conservative advocate Newt Gingrich will bring his ideas on health care reform to Lansing on Wednesday, when he speaks to the Senate Health Policy Committee at 9 a.m.

Gingrich was invited by committee chairman, Sen. Tom George, R-Kalamazoo, according to George's chief of staff, Sherry Sophia.

She said Gingrich, the former U.S. House Speaker, will give a presentation titled, "Creating a 21st Century Intelligent Health System in Michigan."

George is planning to unveil a comprehensive plan to make health insurance more affordable in Michigan, perhaps this spring, Sophia said.

Gingrich has been a leading figure in the national debate on health care reform. He founded the Georgia-based Center for Health Transformation, a think tank based in Georgia that advocates more efficient and effective medical care.
