“The Great Healthcare Plan stops sending big insurance companies billions.”
By Catholics for Catholics
President Donald Trump released his long-awaited “Great Healthcare Plan” on Thursday, pressing Congress to approve measures that would arrange steps to reduce drug costs and provide a “broad direction” to back health savings accounts.
The Daily Wire reported that talks on extending Obamacare subsidies in the Senate appear to be stalling, as enrollment for those who take part in the Affordable Care Act plans ends Thursday in most of the country, as expired subsidies have led to higher premium costs.
Many conservatives contend that this is proof that for starters, the ACA was not a viable program.
“The Great Healthcare Plan stops sending big insurance companies billions in extra taxpayer-funded subsidy payments and instead sends that money directly to eligible Americans to allow them to buy the health insurance of their choice,” the White House web page states.
On Thursday, the White House released a fact sheet on the President’s healthcare plan, which would include “price transparency” reforms and “send money directly to the American people, lower health insurance premiums, and cut kickbacks that raise insurance premiums.” The sheet states that the proposal would also increase the list of “verified safe pharmaceutical drugs” that Americans can buy over the counter and include a “cost-sharing reduction program” for plans.
In a video, Trump said on Thursday that it “will truly make healthcare affordable again.”
This is pretty amazing..

Nevertheless, there have been stern disagreements regarding taxpayer monies for abortions through the Hyde Amendment, along with the habitual partisan split on whether the subsidies should continue at all.
In December, Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) said that Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins (R-ME) went public with a two-year extension proposal, while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has sought a three-year extension of the COVID-era subsidies.
“Barack Obama and the Democratic Party created this disaster, lining the pockets of massive insurance companies while healthcare costs for everyday Americans skyrocketed,” Moreno said in a statement last month. “But I refuse to let the American people pay the price for the Democrats’ incompetence. I am willing to work with anyone to finally bring down costs for all Americans and hope my colleagues across the aisle will commit to doing the same.”
