“The only health care I will support or accept is sending money directly back to the people, with nothing going to the big, rich insurance companies that have made trillions of dollars and have been ripping off America for long enough” – Donald Trump said in a post, expressing his position on health care reform.
“Citizens will have the opportunity to negotiate and purchase their own, much better, insurance. “Power to the people!” – he emphasizes.
“Congress, don't waste your time and energy on anything else. This is the only way to ensure excellent health care in America!!! Let's do it now!,” Trump concludes the post.
The US president has long criticized “Obamacare” – a law introduced during Barack Obama's administration, which was aimed at reforming this sector.

Trump noted that his vision for health care is based on citizens being able to negotiate their own insurance, which he said would be “much better.” He urged Congress to focus on achieving this goal, advising against wasting time on other proposals.
Meanwhile, heated budget negotiations continued in Washington. Democrats, citing forecasts, warned that without Obamacare subsidies, health insurance costs for millions of Americans could more than double.. A dispute over funding for the subsidies led to a more than 40-day stalemate in passing the budget, resulting in a partial government shutdown.
Ultimately, a group of Democrats managed to reach a compromise with Republicans, ending the shutdown and providing temporary funding for the government until the end of January. As part of the agreement, it was agreed that a vote on restoring health insurance subsidies would be held before the end of the year, although final approval was not guaranteed.
