Earlier this morning, USA Today published an opinion piece from Donald Trump:
.@usatodayopinion: Democrats want to outlaw private health care plans, taking away freedom to choose plans while letting anyone cross our border. We must win this. https://t.co/aVqE7oxDj3

And Jim Acosta didn’t like that. Not one little bit:
This column may break the record for the number of falsehoods from a President ever published in a newspaper op-Ed. Just this tweet alone is false – “outlaw private health care plans” and “letting anyone cross our border” Huh? Fact check: false and false. Come on USA Today. https://t.co/1SPKMztmJL

Well, Jim, ackshually …
Sec 107 of Sanders Medicare for All act says “it shall be unlawful for a private health insurer to sell health insurance coverage that duplicates the benefits provided under this Act.” Private coverage would only be allowed for supplemental benefits. https://t.co/XhcXj82bq0
