You could just pay attention to what is being discussed quite openly and publically in the news media:

No single payer.
No euthanizing old people.
No giving up your regular insurance, doctor, hospitals.
No involvement at all unless you choose to be involved.
No "trillions of dollars"
No government official dictating your health care to you.

No change at all to the 80% of Americans that have private health insurance now. None. Zero. Zip.

For the 20% of your fellow Americans that do not now have health insurance, that are costing emergency rooms millions of dollars, who have no wellness health care at all, who are unable to afford huge private health insurance monthly premium payments or get insured again because they have had cancer, endocrine disease, etc and their private carrier refused to pay, or rescinded their policy to get out of paying for a permanent health problem on an ongoing basis - you will be able to afford health insurance. And you will not be excluded for pre-existing conditions.

Because we are a country that takes care of our own.

And for the 80% of people that are now insured - at your next big claim, when you ask your insurance company to pay but they suddenly refuse to pay and/or they rescind you - well, you can get insured again, too, if you like.
