A Right-Wing Congressman Just Endorsed John Kerry's Health-Care Plan

Republican congressman Darrell Issa "ponders," in an image posted to twitter complete with clip art of Rodin's Thinker: "What would a free-market approach to healthcare actually look like?"

It's clear that we need to #ReplaceObamaCare but Americans still need access to affordable, high-quality health care pic.twitter.com/99DbYKGKD8

Put more succinctly:

I'm proposing we #ReplaceObamaCare and give all Americans access to the same affordable, high-quality health coverage as members of Congress

This sounds... familiar, doesn't it? Almost like this:

Today, nine million Federal employees and their dependents get health care through the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP), which offers a wide choice of affordable health plans with group protections and good benefits.

But what brave thinker would propose this free-market approach to universal healthcare?

John Kerry believes that all Americans should have access to the same affordable coverage policies that Members of Congress get today.
