Trump Greenlights Plan To Send $1,500 Checks To Americans

Published 22 hours ago

By Trinity Hallinan

President Donald Trump is backing a Republican proposal that would put as much as $1,500 directly into Americans’ health savings accounts, money they can use for medical expenses instead of lining insurance companies’ pockets.

The bill, led by Sens. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Mike Crapo of Idaho, gives $1,000 to Affordable Care Act enrollees ages 18 to 49, and $1,500 to those ages 50 to 64. The cash would go straight into Health Savings Accounts, not to insurers or government programs.

On Air Force One, Trump made it clear he supports the idea for one reason: the money goes to the people, not health industry giants. “I like the concept. I don’t want to give the insurance companies any money,” he said. “They’ve been ripping off the public for years.”

I'd prefer a nice cabernet sauvignon.

$1,500 will get you a whole lot of very nice Cabernet.  0005

So, how much money are we going to borrow to pay for this, putting more debt on our grandchildren?

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

So, if I'm reading this right, you have to be an ACA enrolee (never was, it cost too much) and between the ages of 18 and 64 to get this HSA money (yeah, you might want to have an HSA if you meet the other criteria).

I'm on Medicare, with supplemental insurance ('Medigap' and a drug plan) so I won't qualify. I'll still have to pick up the tab for whatever Medicare and the rest do not, and pay about $425 a month for the coverage I have.

SO, don't hold your breath...

And you must apply on the sixth Tuesday of a month that ends in either the letter "Q" or "Z".  wink777
