Trump is threatened with end-of-life care subsidy

Trump is threatened with end-of-life care subsidy

World July 29, 2017 22:06

washington - US President Donald Trump suggested Saturday that he is willing to stop important payments to health insurers. 'If a new care act is not approved quickly, bailouts for insurance companies and bailouts for Congress members are terminated in a very short period,' he warned on Twitter.

Trump seems to refer to the first part of his tweet to the federal government's subsidy to health insurers. That money is meant to reduce the cost of insuring minima. If the president fails by that government contribution, their premiums are expected to rise sharply.

The White House did not want to respond to the tweets. Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Democrats in the Senate, warned that millions of Americans should pay more premiums once Trump stops so-called cost-sharing reduction. This subsidy costs the federal government about $ 8 billion (6.8 billion) a year.

The president has already called for 'imploding' the Affordable Care Act on Careers, in Obamacare. Through the law introduced by President Barack Obama, tens of millions of Americans are insured. Republican attempts to abolish the law still ran speech.
