Donald Trump wants to terminate the Affordable Care Act.
Instead of terminating the Affordable Care Act, former President Donald Trump is now promising to make it "much better, stronger and far less expensive" if he wins the presidential election in November. "I’m not running to terminate the ACA as crooked Joe Biden says all over the place," Trump said in a video posted to Truth Social on Thursday, echoing a message he posted last month. "We’re going to make the ACA much better than it is right now and much less expensive for you." [...] Trump also signed a bill effectively eliminating the individual mandate, which required most Americans to have health insurance or face a penalty. And his administration supported a major court challenge to the Affordable Care Act’s constitutionality, leaving it to a coalition of Democratic attorneys general to step in to defend it. The Supreme Court ultimately dismissed the challenge, keeping the law in place.
