"During an interview with Politico, Donald Trump snapped at a reporter for reminding him that the expiration of Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies will have an immediate effect on American families. "Don't be dramatic," he told her, more than once. Reporter Dasha Burns pressed Trump on whether he would try to strike a deal to extend ACA subsidies before they expire in two weeks, which will cause healthcare premiums to skyrocket for many Americans."
"Trump said he didn't know yet and continued to ramble about not wanting insurance companies to get any money and just wanting to give money straight to the American people so they could "buy their own health care." He did not, however, say what this would look like in practice or provide a timeline for this plan. As such, Burns reminded him that Congress hasn't put a plan like Trump's on the floor yet."
Donald Trump snapped at a reporter who reminded him that Affordable Care Act subsidies expire in two weeks and will have immediate effects on families. He repeatedly told the reporter, "Don't be dramatic." When pressed about extending the subsidies, he said he did not know and shifted to a vague proposal to give money directly to Americans so they could buy their own health care, saying insurance companies should not get the funds. He offered no practical details or timeline for the proposal. A reporter noted that Congress has not advanced any such plan and that extending subsidies is the only near-term way to prevent premium spikes.
