US EditionTrump Unveils Health Care Plan that Would Pay Americans Directly to Buy Coverage
The plan aims to redirect billions in subsidies directly to individuals, increase drug price transparency, and fund cost-sharing reductions to lower premiums and drug costs.
- On Jan. 15, 2026, President Donald J. Trump unveiled the `Great Healthcare Plan` in a White House video, presenting it as a blueprint for Congress to enact, saying it "puts you first and puts more money in your pocket."
- With enhanced ACA subsidies having expired at year-end, millions face higher premiums as a Jan. 8 House bill to extend tax credits passed but faces resistance in the Republican-led Senate.
- The White House projects a $36 billion savings and a 10% premium reduction from a new cost-sharing plan, with funds shifted directly to Americans via HSAs or direct payments, and drug sales through TrumpRx.gov.
- After the rollout, observers noted critics called the `Great Healthcare Plan` short on details and warned it would raise costs and reduce coverage, while Sen. Bernie Moreno praised it and the White House cited momentum in Congress.
- Longer term, enactment would depend on Congress and federal rulemaking, as the plan omits an extension of recently expired subsidies, leaving some HealthCare.gov shoppers without relief this month.
