President Donald Trump unveiled his “Great Healthcare Plan” that sends money directly to Americans to pay for their own healthcare.
Trump announced his Great Healthcare Plan in a video from the White House on Thursday.
The president said Americans pay the highest insurance premiums in the world – and now Americans will pay the lowest healthcare prices in the world.
“The government is going to pay the money directly to you. It goes to you, and then you take the money and buy your own health care. Nobody has ever heard of that before, and that’s the way it is.”
Trump said his plan will reduce insurance premiums by ending billion dollar payouts to big insurance companies – and sending that money directly to the people.
Trump accused former President Barack Obama of making insurance companies rich.
“Obamacare was designed to make insurance companies rich. I call it the Unaffordable Care Act,” Trump said.
A White House official told reporters on Thursday that the administration is willing to work with Congress to get the plan codified.
“These are commonsense actions that make up President Trump’s Great Healthcare Plan, and they represent the most comprehensive and bold agenda to lower health care costs to have ever been considered by the federal government,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Thursday.
“Congress should immediately take up President Trump’s plan and pass it into law.”
