Is Rep. Issa really for single payer?

[Sugarcoated]

He said so on Realtime. I'm skeptical. Is it really possible a Republican is for a real single payer system?

1. That would be...odd.

2. I didn't hear anything about single payer

But he made himself sounds like he was for a public option. By the way, I loved the look on his face when Bill Maher linked the GOP and Rush.

3. He said he wanted the American people to have what he had.

If I understood him correctly.

4. Buying into the FEHB program

Which is pretty much the same as the insurance gateways. Congress does not have government health care.

5. Not quite--he said he was for the public option and claims to have written it. nt

8. He is for

ordinary citizens being able to buy into the same pools as the 8 million + Federal government employees.

This is neither single payer nor public option.

But it is not too bad.

6. I wouldn't trust Issa to take out my garbage.

7. Issa says one thing on Bill Maher, but he is a different animal on

CSpan.
