President Donald Trump recently shared his thoughts on healthcare. He said he won't introduce any big new healthcare plans. He believes Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act, will fade away on its own. Why? Because people find it too costly to use. Trump made these comments after Republicans in the House passed a healthcare bill. This bill blocks extra help for those buying health insurance. This help, given during the COVID-19 pandemic, ends on December 31. Without it, many people could face much higher costs starting January 1.
About 24 million Americans get their health insurance through Obamacare. Some Republicans want to protect their voters in key areas before the November elections. Healthcare costs and other prices are making people unhappy. This could affect the election results. Instead of finding a middle ground, House Republicans passed a bill supported by Trump. This bill aims to lower premiums for some but raises them for others starting in 2027. Trump calls it a simple plan. He says the government will give money directly to people. This way, they can buy their own healthcare. But will this plan work? It's hard to say. Healthcare is a complex issue. And people are watching closely to see what happens next.
