President Donald Trump said on Nov. 18 that he would only approve legislation that provides direct health care payments to Americans amid looming congressional discussions over extending insurance subsidies that are set to expire.

“The only healthcare I will support or approve is sending the money directly back to the people, with nothing going to the big, fat, rich insurance companies, who have made $trillions, and ripped off America long enough,” Trump wrote in an all-caps post on Truth Social.
