“Trumpcare” Does Not Exist. Nevertheless Facebook and Google Cash In on Misleading Ads for “Garbage” Health Insurance. — ProPublica

... "The marketing is extremely deceptive," said Sabrina Corlette, a research professor at Georgetown University's Center on Health Insurance Reforms. "Both the advertising and the brokers use terms that to the average consumer would make them think they are buying a comprehensive insurance plan that provides coverage if they get injured or sick. But quite often nothing could be further from the truth."... 
 ... "How much can you earn monthly at US Health Advisors?" asks one of the videos, posted by US Health Advisors Coral Springs. 
"$16,000," says a bearded man in a black shirt and tie.
"$18,000," says a woman in a sleeveless top. 
"$34,000," says a man in a dress shirt and tie, a family photo in the background behind him.

This New Yorker Cartoon Made Me LOL -- Mother Jones

Trumpcare opposed by 80 percent: A disaster for Republicans and an opportunity for Democrats

Is The Health Care Overhaul Over? (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Over a steak dinner last night, President Trump urged key Republican Senators to finally repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. He didn’t know that two more Senators were about to announce they oppose the bill – effectively killing it. So what now? Mitch McConnell wants a “repeal only” bill, but that could lead to chaos. Others say it’s time to work across party lines to fix healthcare. This hour On Point: Republicans fumble and Obamacare remains the law of the land. -- Anthony Brooks

The president went off on Jeff Sessions, and tweeted a ban on transgender military service. Congress sanctions Russia some more. This Hour On Point: Our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines. -- Tom Ashbrook

Friday News Roundup – Domestic (Joshua Johnson, 1A) 2017-07-28

After purportedly consulting with generals and military experts, the president issued a ban on transgender troops. Then, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said his generals won’t act on the president’s tweets.

And after a week on the job, new White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci has jumped in to attack leakers and the Russia investigation.

After all this, join us for a recap of the week’s top stories.
