Trump Drops Plan To ‘Terminate’ Obamacare Amid Senate Fight Over Subsidies

President Donald Trump proposed a new plan Saturday to “terminate” Obamacare by redirecting federal insurance subsidies directly to Americans, a move that would mark one of the most sweeping overhauls of the health care system in U.S. history.

The president unveiled the idea in a series of Truth Social posts early Saturday morning, saying the money “currently being sent to money-sucking insurance companies” should instead go to individuals so they can “purchase their own, much better, healthcare.”

“I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the hundreds of billions of dollars currently being sent to money-sucking insurance companies … BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE,” Trump wrote. “Take from the BIG, BAD insurance companies, give it to the people, and terminate, per dollar spent, the worst healthcare anywhere in the world, ObamaCare.”

He added: “Unrelated, we must still terminate the filibuster!”The president’s latest comments come as his administration faces mounting pressure to end the ongoing government shutdown, which has caused widespread delays for air travelers and uncertainty for millions of low-income Americans.
