Trump announces $500M in rebates from alleged overcharges under Obamacare
The direct-deposit payments would come from a $500 million fund and reach people in 30 states before the Nov. 3 election.
- President Trump's administration plans to send $500 rebate checks to up to 1 million people who officials claim were overcharged for coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
- A $500 million fund of excess fees collected during President Biden's administration will cover the rebates. "That money was over-collected and just sitting there," a U.S. official told Axios.
- Payments will reach recipients in 30 states, including Alabama, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, and Texas. Officials noted that refunds are limited to enrollees who do not receive premium assistance under the ACA.
- Trump will tout the initiative during a Wednesday night speech at the Republicans' midterm convention in Dallas. Direct deposits will be issued before the November 3 midterm election.
- Previously, the Biden administration proposed using these fees for contraception, but Republicans in Congress successfully blocked the plan. Staffers who spearheaded that objection were subsequently hired by the Trump administration.
