The Washington Post examined 750 tweets from when the American Health Care Act was introduced on March 6 to mid-July. It found President Trump tweeted about healthcare 67 times within that time period, accounting for about 8.3 percent of his tweets. Comparatively, he tweeted about fake news 46 times and Russia or leaks 49 times.
However, the Post analysis notes of the 67 tweets, just five reference specific policy. The majority of his healthcare tweets are more general, referencing meetings about the bill or the ACA’s demise. The five times he tweeted about policy, the president referenced interstate insurance sales, drug pricing, deductible and premium prices, past inaccuracies of reports from the Congressional Budget Office and Medicaid spending.
