"Take from the BIG, BAD insurance companies, give it to the people," Trump urges Senate Republicans to abolish Obamacare
Washington [US], November 8 (ANI): US President Donald Trump on Saturday urged Senate Republicans to abolish Obamacare and redirect federal health care spending directly to individual Americans.
In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote, "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."
He added, "In other words, 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."
The post marks Trump's latest push to revive his long-running campaign against the Affordable Care Act, dubbed Obamacare, a centerpiece of former President Barack Obama's domestic legacy.
Obama and Democrats argue the program made health care more accessible and affordable for millions of Americans.
House Speaker Mike Johnson on Thursday told reporters that he would not commit to holding a vote on extending COVID-19 pandemic-era enhanced Obamacare subsidies, which are set to expire at the end of this year without congressional action, Fox News reported.
