"You see the kind of money the insurance companies are making. Hundreds of millions of dollars. Their stock is up over 1,000%. We're gonna give the money to the people to buy their own healthcare."
"It will be one of the greatest deals this country has ever made. Instead of giving it to insurance companies big, fat, bloated insurance companies we're giving the money directly to the people to buy their own healthcare."
"Some may. I mean, they'll be negotiating prices. It's really a free enterprise. You can do it through an insurance company. You can also buy it direct. They have savings accounts. They have a lot of different ways of buying healthcare,"
"80 years as a human and 10 years in politics and he has no idea how health insurance works."
President Donald Trump announced a tentative plan to give money directly to people to buy their own healthcare instead of sending subsidies to insurance companies. The proposal was mentioned during a press gaggle on Air Force One as Obamacare tax credits face expiration after Democrats failed to extend them. Trump criticized insurance companies for large profits and rising stock values, promising the funds would become direct payments enabling individuals to purchase healthcare or negotiate prices through free enterprise. He suggested alternative purchasing methods such as savings accounts. Critics responded, including Jon Favreau who tweeted that Trump has no idea how health insurance works.
