FROM NBC NEWS: President Donald Trump told reporters Tuesday that he doesn’t want to extend expiring subsidies under Obamacare, also known as the Affordable Care Act, delivering a major blow to prospects of averting sharp premium hikes next year.
“I’d rather not. Somebody said I want to extend them for two years. I don’t want to extend them for two years. I’d rather not extend them at all,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One en route to Florida when he was asked whether he plans to extend the funds.
The White House has refrained from offering a detailed health care plan as up to 22 million people are expected to face higher costs starting in January because of the lapse of ACA funds passed in 2021 and designed to cap premiums.
Trump wouldn’t reveal which Democrat he’d been talking to.
“I can’t tell you who, but we have a lot of Democrats want this plan to happen,” Trump said. “They would love to see the money go to the people and the people go out and get their own health care.”
President Trump said on he does not want to extend Obamacare subsidies after reports that he was considering a two-year extension to the Affordable Care Act insurance premium subsidies.
