Over the weekend, President Donald Trump suggested subsidies the federal government pays to insurance companies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) should instead go directly to Americans.
“I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over,” Trump wrote in a post on social media.
The post marked one of Trump’s first comments since the September 2024 presidential debate, when he said he was interested in replacing the ACA and that he had “concepts” of a plan.
