President Trump on Friday predicted that Democrats would shut down the government over health care in January when current appropriations run out.He said the Affordable Health Care (ACA) pandemic tax credits would again become an issue, given that they are set to expire at the end of the year.
“The problem is that Democrats will shut down the government because they’re beholden; they’re beholden to the insurance companies,” Trump said during a rally in Rocky Mount, N.C. “So I don’t know what they can do about it, but they’ll probably close down the government. It’s so simple.”
Trump has blamed Obamacare for rising health insurance premiums. He has said that any federal premium assistance should go to individuals and families but not directly to the insurance companies.
