Trump’s drug card scam
It was just a ploy to get votes. I doubt it ever happens.
President Trump’s Medicare drug discount cards face uncertain path https://t.co/CPmizBMfbN

This is such a remarkable story on so many levels. Among other things, what would the possible legal justification be for spending $7.9 billion to send out drug discount cards with the president's name on them? https://t.co/eP5IohOPSy pic.twitter.com/zPre94Rf44

A blatant ploy to use the Medicare trust fund to pay for an election year boost for Trump in the form of a letter and drug discount cards. https://t.co/1mKwwCXtpj

Health officials scramble to explain details of Trump’s $200 drug discount card https://t.co/iSv3Zbavu9
— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) September 26, 2020
Trump is promising to send $200 drug discount cards to 33 million seniors, an election year bid aimed at saying he’s lowering sky high prescription drug costs for older Americanshttps://t.co/R8qVOIJ35t

Millions of Americans have no options for affordable health care during a public health crisis.

Absolutely unacceptable in a nation with the most billionaires on Earth.
This pandemic should have made it clear to anyone still on the fence: Medicare for All must be our future. pic.twitter.com/0WcKmioBS4
You know what else they have?

Universal healthcare and less than 100,000 deaths.
Time to pass Medicare for All. https://t.co/SPcuAXL71w
Medicare chief spends government funds on GOP consultants
More abuse by a Trump appointee. What a corrupt bunch!
#YouMightThinkItsOK for Trump appointee Seema Verma to use government money meant for Medicare, Medicaid and the ACA to pay off millions of dollars to her Republican buddies while she demands work requirements for poor people on Medicaid, but I don't.https://t.co/5x0jp8MsPI

Never heard of anything like this before. A reminder that this administration’s scandals aren’t limited to Trump – people are looting the government at all levels. https://t.co/ViWvYnjMZg
— Matthew Miller (@matthewamiller) March 29, 2019
Verma’s team of consultants includes (1) a specialist in helping GOP women with their brands and (2) a longtime colleague from Indiana who got blocked from a CMS job.

Trump lies about Medicare
Trump wrote a column in today’s USA Today which is full of lies about both the Democratic and Republican positions on Medicare.
Here's a full fact check of Trump's op-ed, just posted. https://t.co/yUgygTq73T

Another bruising fact-check of POTUS's "Medicare for All" column. Might be a net benefit for Dems hit with the "you'll kill Medicare attack" — that messaging, common in TV ads, getting high profile debunking.https://t.co/smvTk9f4J2
— Dave Weigel (@daveweigel) October 10, 2018
USA Today not only published a White House press release disguised as an “op-ed by Donald Trump,” it is using its Twitter account to blast out the article’s lies to 3.6 million followers. https://t.co/5qpjfDOWHh
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) October 10, 2018
well, this is embarrassing. How does he explain the fact that one of the links in the op-ed (to one of our fact checks) shows exactly the opposite of what the president asserted? https://t.co/JFXw2RcR6L

I took a look at your op-ed, @realDonaldTrump. It needs some work.
All of the false and misleading words in the world can’t cover up how your administration and Republicans in Congress are forcing millions of Americans to pay more for health care. pic.twitter.com/SjFjonVBef

An interesting dilemma for opinion editors: The president of the United States writes a guest column for your publication, but it's filled with untrue statements. What do you do? https://t.co/U8pSmx2NE7

This is good, but not as good as, y’know, fact checking BEFORE you run the op-ed. https://t.co/hsXFeeZqLR
