Trump vows to pass ‘The Great Healthcare plan’ cracking down on insurance companies

DALLAS — President Trump will push for what he dubbed “the Great Healthcare plan,” featuring a crackdown on insurance companies, during his speech at the GOP midterm convention, according to prepared remarks.

Trump’s exact timetable for getting “the Great Healthcare plan” passed through Congress is not immediately clear, but the president is also expected to tease plans to make his policies to reduce prescription drug prices permanent and end surprise medical billing.

“We will pass the Great Healthcare plan to stop all government payments to big insurance companies, and give the money directly to the people, for you to buy your own healthcare and have money left over,” Trump will say, according to a copy of his remarks obtained by The Post.

Last year, when the enhanced Obamacare subsidies were set to expire, Republicans floated multiple different proposals for an alternative policy. Trump had gravitated towards the idea of taking the subsidies and giving them directly to consumers rather than going through insurance companies.

Details of Trump’s “Great Healthcare plan” were sparse. Republicans previously attempted to enact comprehensive healthcare reform during his first administration.

During his speech, Trump will tout other healthcare ideas and policies that he is pursuing as well.

“We will end surprise medical billing, and require insurers and hospitals to post all prices clearly in plain English,” the president will vow.

“We will make our Most Favored Nation Agreements on prescription drug prices permanent, which reduces your prescription drug prices by 90%.”
