The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

Republicans should come around to Trump's Health Care Price Cuts Act, which will finally end the corrupt Obamacare subsidy scam that enriches insurance companies at taxpayers' expense. The plan eliminates fraudulent zero-premium schemes and puts money directly into Americans' Health Savings Accounts. Families will control their health care dollars instead of subsidizing Big Insurance profits.

Anti-Trump narrative

Trump's health care scheme tricks people into downgrading to junk insurance with higher deductibles and worse coverage in exchange for limited Health Savings Accounts cash. The plan makes poor people pay more while creating loopholes for scam insurance that doesn't cover pre-existing conditions. This destroys comprehensive health care to benefit private contractors and middlemen.
