The White House knows it needs to act on health care affordability. Here's what's on the table.
President Donald Trump’s Domestic Policy Council and senior health officials have been meeting privately for preliminary conversations on how to address the expiration of health insurance tax credits, according to a White House official and another person familiar with the talks.
Conversations about a White House alternative to Affordable Care Act subsidies, which will expire at year’s end, are in the “early ideation phase,” said a third person familiar with the talks. Like others, these people were granted anonymity to discuss private conversations. Options that administration officials have publicly teased in recent days include giving money directly to Americans to cover health expenses and subsidizing out-of-pocket costs for low-income people enrolled in the ACA.
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz said Monday that he’d spent “a good part of the weekend with the White House” working on a plan to replace ACA subsidies with a new policy.
“We have lots of great ideas,” Oz said on Fox News on Monday. “But I don't want to show our cards. As the president often says, why would I telegraph to you what we are going to do?”
