"The president gave an interview that aired on Monday night's edition of Fox News Channel's The Ingraham Angle, during which he elaborated on the plan which appears to feature two main differences with Obamacare. The first is to pay the subsidies directly to consumers instead of to insurers. The second is to name it after himself. But Obamacare consists of a complex set of protections and a competitive marketplace that Trumpcare doesn't seem to address, and about which Ingraham did not ask:"
"As you know I opposed it very strongly. Unfortunately we had a couple of negative votes which should never have happened. But I said it's going to be a disaster. And I was exactly right. The premiums have gone up like rocket ships. And i'm not just talking about recently I'm talking about for years they've been going up. And he said premiums will go down. Everything will be wonderful. It's horrible health insurance at a very high price."
President Donald Trump outlined a health care concept labeled "Trumpcare" during a Fox News interview, proposing two main departures from Obamacare: paying subsidies directly to consumers and naming the program after himself. Trump criticized Obamacare for rising premiums and called the existing system costly and ineffective, saying premiums have increased for years despite promises they would fall. Trump described routing subsidy money into personal accounts so individuals purchase their own insurance. The plan as described does not address the broader set of Obamacare protections and marketplace rules, which were not explored in the interview.
