President Donald Trump on Tuesday gave his sharpest rebuke of congressional Democrats’ efforts to extend expiring Affordable Care Act enhanced tax credits, saying he would not support legislation to do so.
The announcement, made through a post on Truth Social, comes as Senate Republicans and the White House had promised to enter earnest negotiations with Democrats on health care as a condition of ending the government shutdown.
Trump has pushed for lawmakers to consider policies that would send money to individuals to subsidize health care costs rather than by lowering premiums paid to insurance companies participating in the 2010 health care law’s insurance marketplace.
