Quote It’s time to give American families quality, reliable, affordable healthcare — and that’s what we are working very hard to do.

PRODUCING REAL SAVINGS: President Donald J. Trump’s actions on healthcare are already delivering real results for families, businesses, and the American taxpayers.

The President has taken action to deliver better healthcare alternatives with lower prices.

Three of these key actions include: eliminating the individual mandate penalty, expanding Association Health Plans (AHPs), and extending short-term, limited-duration plans.

According to a new report by the President’s Council of Economic Advisers (CEA), these actions will create $453 billion in net benefits for consumers and taxpayers over ten years. This equates to an average of $3,500 in net benefits per household over that time period.



FREEING AMERICANS FROM THE INDIVIDUAL MANDATE PENALTY: President Trump’s historic tax reform legislation removed the burdensome individual mandate tax penalty.

Obamacare’s individual mandate coerced people into buying health insurance they did not want and burdened taxpayers because the plans are so heavily subsidized.

The penalty imposed a sizable burden on families, especially lower-income families. Nearly 80 percent of households paying the penalty had annual income below $50,000.

Based on Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projections, CEA estimates that eliminating the penalty will benefit 5 million consumers by letting them buy other plans, goods, or services.

According to CBO, eliminating the individual mandate penalty will reduce taxpayer spending on the exchanges by $185 billion over the next 10 years.

EXPANDING HEALTH COVERAGE OPTIONS: President Trump has expanded healthcare choices through Association Health Plans and short-term, limited duration plans.
