Trump Unveils 'Great Healthcare Plan' Proposing Direct Payments and Drug Price Controls

US President Donald Trump unveiled the 'Great Healthcare Plan,' proposing direct government payments to Americans for health savings accounts to purchase insurance, aiming to lower drug prices by linking US costs to international rates. The plan calls on Congress to codify initiatives like a 'most favored nation' drug pricing approach and increase cost transparency. While it stops short of repealing Obamacare, it rejects enhanced ACA subsidies, drawing criticism from Democrats who argue it may inadequately support lower-income individuals. The proposal lacks detailed implementation timelines and faces uncertain congressional support amid rising healthcare costs.
