US EditionTrump calls for giving federal health insurance money ‘directly to the people’ as shutdown talks drag on
Trump urges Senate Republicans to redirect hundreds of billions in ACA funds directly to Americans amid a historic 39-day government shutdown affecting 650,000 federal workers.
- On Nov 8, President Donald Trump urged Senate Republicans to redirect Affordable Care Act payments from insurers to individuals as a shutdown compromise, proposing moving 'hundreds of billions' through a Truth Social post without details.
- The dispute centers on enhanced ACA subsidies that would expire at year's end, affecting 24 million Americans if U.S. Congress does not act amid the ongoing federal government shutdown.
- Some Republican senators, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, and Sen. James Lankford, R-Oklahoma, publicly backed Trump's idea, while Senate Republicans resisted changing the filibuster, a 60-vote rule, this week.
- Roughly 650,000 federal workers remain furloughed, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits are delayed, and more than 1,000 flights were canceled with 4,000 delayed as the U.S. Senate reconvened.
- The proposal lacks implementation details and the White House did not immediately explain how it would work, observers note it would require congressional action and faces serious legislative headwinds amid the shutdown stalemate.
