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

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.

So what happened to the $2,000 he promised?

The other $500 is in the Epstein files.

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

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".

Only if it's a blue moon, otherwise your paperwork is void.

Whatever.  I really don't care anymore.    Trump is a chump. Talks out his ass.

 I have to agree.  He was off to a good start but the leftist are still in charge thanks to a do nothing GOP Congress. He's desperately trying to save this country.  He cannot do it alone.

Folks like us will never see that money.

He's not doing anything other than playing the same stupid games progs have been playing.  He's certainly not saving the country with this inane waste of taxpayer funds.

[Hoodat]

Democrat-lite.

[LMAO]

This is a repeat of his first term

We're bailing out farmers like we did during his first term due to them being harmed by tariffs
And, like COVID, when he gets into political trouble with voters, he thinks sending out  checks will soothe voter displeasure

Unfortunately, when the House switches hands after next year, it's likely a Democrat congress will also join in on his spending plans

In 2020, the Dems put those free checks to good use.  They'll do the same in 2026.

If you want to break up the Democrat Party for good, then balance the budget.  Stop funding those bastards.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

I think it's clear now, Trump 47 is a dud.
