WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Thursday announced the outlines of a health care plan he wants Congress to take up as Republicans have faced increasing pressure to address rising health costs after lawmakers let subsidies expire.

The cornerstone is his proposal to send money directly to Americans for health savings accounts so they can handle insurance and health costs as they see fit. Democrats have rejected the idea as a paltry substitute for the tax credits that had helped lower monthly premiums for many people.

“The government is going to pay the money directly to you,” Trump said in a taped video the White House released to announce the plan. “It goes to you and then you take the money and buy your own health care.”

Trump's plan also focuses on lowering drug prices and requiring insurers to be more upfront with the public about costs, revenues, rejected claims and wait times for care.

So, we've gone from a concept to an outline.

1. Here's exactly what will happen

Health insurance companies just will raise their premiums to suck up all this extra money. They already set their prices based on the pain point between people going broke or dying.

2. Yeah

77.5 million Americans are undisciplined fucktards and will take the money and spend it on their next negative equity car.

4. Hasn't health care suffered enough?

Yes, but it ain't over.

[Tadpole Raisin]

5. More concepts of a plan? Please, I'm still waiting for the Doge checks. nt

[Be The Light]

6. Right, repeal and replace!

Dumb asses have had 10 years to show us their plan which never existed.

[Prairie Gates]

7. In other words, another massive tax cut for the wealthy disguised as a tax credit to buy health insurance

Absolutely no help at all, in other words, for anyone making less than $1.5 million a year!

8. More bankruptcies, more emergency room treatment, shorter life spans, less spending on non-esssentials,

more pressure on workplaces such as Walmart to provide worker health insurance, more illness.

[wiggs]

9. Easy case to make but I don't see MSM, pundits, journalists, dem officials diving into reasons why

affordable health care and affordable insurance are important.

[Javaman]

10. I'm waiting for his plan roughed out on the back of a napkin. nt

[Ritabert]

11. And the people will use the money to pay their rent or credit card bill

If they get sick or injured they'll go to the emergency room. And that depends on EMTALA which requires hospitals to treat and stabilize people regardless of ability to pay. Republican congressmen will undoubtedly attempt to rescind that act taking us back to the days when hospitals dumped indigent patients in Skid Row LA.

12. arrant nonsense

Someone in his office wrote this drivel

[BurnDoubt]

13. Joe-Bob will spend his money down at the bar...

and his kids can forget about their health.

That's why insurance was the answer.
America thinks History is "who won the Super Bowl in '71".

14. So they are going to give each of us like a quarter of a million dollars to pay for healthcare?

This is the stupidest idea ever.
