Promising Direct Cash to Americans for
President Donald Trump unveiled his new healthcare plan for Americans dubbed “The Great Healthcare Plan" on Thursday.
Listen to his full remarks in the video above. “We're calling it the great health care plan,” Trump said in a five minute video.
“Instead of putting the needs of big corporations and special interests first, our plan finally puts you first and puts more money in your pocket. 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.”
A brief fact sheet posted on the White House website stated that if the plan is passed by Congress, then insurance companies will no longer receive taxpayer funded subsidy payments.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has previously criticized the fact that major health care companies are subsidized by the government, saying this allows companies to increase their profits. Americans will then get to directly choose the healthcare plan of their choice.
Trump said he plans to further reduce insurance premiums by putting an end to “giant kickbacks” paid to insurance brokers and pharmacy benefits managers.
