PolitiFact: 4 fact checks on GOP health plan

PolitiFact Wisconsin has done four fact checks on statements about the Republican plan to replace Obamacare.

The fate of the proposal, pushed hard by Wisconsin Republican Paul Ryan and President Donald Trump, remained uncertain Friday afternoon, as the U.S. House of Representatives debated it.

Here's a look at the four statements by Wisconsin politicians, two by Republicans and two by Democrats, that we've rated:

Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson says the replacement would reduce subsidies that help lower-income people buy health insurance, but also "expand the entitlement" by giving subsidies to higher-income people "that Obamacare never helped." Our rating: True.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan says that under the GOP plan, "$600 billion worth of tax breaks will go to the wealthiest in this country." Our rating: Half True.

U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, a Democrat, says the GOP plan would let insurance executives "personally make millions off your health care." Our rating: Mostly False.

Ryan, the House speaker, said that for people who buy health insurance on their own, the bill "will lower premiums." Our rating: Half True.
