Trump Proposes ‘Trumpcare’ Alternative to Obamacare; Sec. Rollins Says SNAP Benefits to Be Restored by Monday

President Donald Trump this week elaborated more on how he would deal with health care subsidies and the Affordable Care Act (ACA), suggesting an account for citizens where payments can be made for health-related issues. Trump wrote in a Nov. 8 post on Truth Social that Senate Republicans should direct hundreds of billions in funding away from insurance companies and into people’s accounts, allowing them to purchase their own health insurance.The federal government has reopened after Trump signed the funding bill passed by Congress. Government employees are returning to work, with regular paychecks also resuming. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins told CNN that most SNAP recipients should receive benefits by the end of this week, providing relief to the almost 42 million people who stopped receiving the benefits this month. The Trump Administration also withdrew its emergency application to the Supreme Court related to SNAP benefits.
