Trump Criticizes Health Insurance Providers, Advocates Direct Payments to Americans
President TRUMP has reiterated his stance on healthcare legislation, stating he will only support measures that send money directly to Americans rather than insurance companies. In a Truth Social post, Trump condemned health insurance providers, accusing them of profiting excessively at the expense of the public.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, set to expire at year-end, could lead to a 114% premium increase for millions, according to research firm KFF. Democrats favor extending these subsidies, while Republicans largely support Trump's proposal for direct payments. A Senate vote on the issue is expected by mid-December as part of a bipartisan government reopening deal.
