US Shutdown: Trump demands ACA payments go straight to Americans; hits at ‘fat cat’ insurers and Obamacare

President Trump is pushing Republicans to redirect ACA funds directly to Americans, bypassing insurance companies. He argues this would save citizens money and dismantle the current healthcare system. This proposal comes amid a prolonged government shutdown, with Democrats offering to reopen it if ACA subsidies are maintained for a year. Republicans have rejected this, demanding the government be funded first.
