US EditionTrump calls for giving federal health insurance money ‘directly to the people’ as shutdown talks drag on
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump proposed redirecting 'Hundreds of Billions' sent to insurance companies under the ACA so Americans could buy their own healthcare, urging Senate Republicans on Truth Social without details.
- With the shutdown entering Day 39, the United States Senate reconvened at noon after rejecting a bill to resume pay for hundreds of thousands of federal workers.
- Using sharp language, President Donald Trump argued funds should go to people rather than insurance companies and reiterated calls to end the filibuster using the "nuclear option".
- Several lawmakers voiced support while others remained cautious as at least two Senate Republicans, Sen. James Lankford and Sen. Lindsey Graham, backed the proposal and federal workers faced unpaid delays.
- It remained unclear how the plan would work in practice, as Trump did not specify implementation details and ACA subsidies helping more than 20 million Americans near year-end expiration.
