    The Spin

    Pro-Trump narrative

    Congress must codify Trump's plan, which finally fixes the damage from Obamacare by empowering patients instead of bureaucrats. Market-based reforms require price transparency and giving subsidies directly to consumers in order to slash prescription drug costs and expand coverage options. These commonsense conservative principles restore accountability and make health care affordable again.

    Anti-Trump narrative

    This so-called health care plan is a lazy, detail-free framework that recycles failed Republican ideas from decades past. Sending subsidies directly to individuals instead of insurers will destabilize markets, leave millions uninsured and create a death spiral for people with preexisting conditions. This vague document offers nothing new and will only increase costs for ordinary Americans.
