Trump promises $500 Obamacare rebate checks
The Trump administration is promising $500 rebate checks to about 1 million ACA enrollees across 30 states. The White House claims these individuals were overcharged by the former President Joe Biden's administration for exchange fees. Trump announced in a recorded address Thursday that the rebates will be sent out in a few weeks. The White House states that the Biden administration accumulated a surplus of funds not used to benefit those who paid higher premiums.
This move follows Trump's pledge Wednesday to send every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of Congress in the midterm elections.
