    So this article is bitching how the coverage of the Trumpcare failure wasn't portrayed very nicely by the media?!?

    The GOP effort to repeal and replace ObamaCare received 152 minutes of evening news coverage, with a ridiculously lopsided 94% hostile spin (193 negative vs. 12 positive statements).
    ​
    What spin? It failed.

    TrumpCare coverage with negative spin, before there was even a vote on it. Not a peep about insurance companies bailing on the ObamaCare marketplaces.

    What spin? Trumpcare as presented was shitty. You're the one complaining about the lack of fake praise for it and Trump.

    The drum beat narrative from the press was "keep ObamaCare, TrumpCare is shitty." TrumpCare wasn't shitty, ObamaCare is.

    Nothing at all better than a shitty ObamaCare policy with a $10,000/yr premium and a $10,000/yr deductible.

    Think about it. You pay $10,000 in monthly installments, and then go pay for all your healthcare anyway.

    Smert.

    Yes but there was nothing in Trumpcare that would make that better.

    Not making people pay the $10,000 over the 12 months. That's better.
