President Donald Trump’s gimmicky $500 Affordable Care Act refund checks have started arriving in the homes of nearly a million Americans. The letters that accompany them act as textbook Trumpian disinformation and underscore how the check campaign is a cheap trick masquerading as populism.
The letters notify recipients that “For years, the Biden Administration overcharged you to fund the operation of HealthCare.gov. That money belongs to hard-working Americans, not the Government, and now, I am returning it to you!” It notes that the refund is for Americans who do not receive subsidies to help pay for their coverage.
This is classic Trump propaganda.
