NEW: Donald Trump has a plan to replace Obamacare by giving Americans cash to buy their own health insurance
— Insider Paper (@TheInsiderPaper) November 13, 2025
President Donald Trump hinted at a potential replacement for the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, that could bear his own name.
In a Monday night interview with FOX News, the president briefly outlined a proposal that would allow Americans to negotiate their own health insurance, rather than rely on government subsidies.
“That would be so exciting,” Trump told Fox anchor Laura Ingraham. “Call it Trumpcare. Call it whatever you want…Anything but Obamacare!”
The president’s remarks come two months before ACA subsidies are set to expire, which could lead millions of Americans to face higher premiums and risk losing coverage, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Democrats have demanded the subsidies be extended in order to end the government shutdown, the longest in U.S. history.
“I said it’s going to be a disaster. And I was exactly right,” Trump told FOX News. “The premiums have gone up like rocket ships. And I’m not just talking about recently. I’m talking about for years they’ve been going up.”
