BREAKING NEWS:President Trump Urges Congress to Pass ‘Great Healthcare Plan’ Amid Push to Lower Costs.
President Donald Trump on Thursday called on Congress to swiftly pass what the White House has branded the “Great Healthcare Plan,” a sweeping proposal the administration says is designed to lower healthcare costs, reduce prescription drug prices, and cut insurance premiums for millions of Americans.
Speaking from the White House, Trump framed the plan as a long-overdue overhaul of what he described as a “broken and overpriced” healthcare system.
According to the administration, the proposal focuses on easing financial pressure on families, expanding consumer choice, and reining in costs across the healthcare industry.
At the center of the plan is a renewed effort to lower prescription drug prices, an issue Trump has frequently highlighted as a priority.
The proposal would allow for more aggressive price negotiations, encourage the use of lower-cost generic medications, and increase transparency in how drug prices are set.
White House officials argue these measures would directly reduce out-of-pocket expenses for seniors and low-income patients.
The plan also targets insurance premiums, which have steadily risen in recent years.
Administration officials say the proposal would increase competition among insurers, roll back certain regulatory requirements, and promote alternative coverage options intended to drive down monthly costs.
Supporters claim these changes could make health insurance more affordable, particularly for small businesses and self-employed Americans.
In addition, the “Great Healthcare Plan” includes provisions aimed at reducing overall healthcare spending by cutting administrative waste and streamlining federal healthcare programs.
The White House says the reforms would improve efficiency without reducing coverage or benefits for patients.
Trump urged lawmakers from both parties to support the plan, portraying it as a bipartisan solution that prioritizes patients over special interests.
“This is about delivering better healthcare at a lower cost for the American people,” the president said, calling on Congress to “get it done.”
Democrats, however, have expressed skepticism, arguing that the proposal lacks sufficient detail and warning that cost-cutting measures could undermine patient protections.
Some healthcare advocacy groups have also called for closer scrutiny of how the plan would affect coverage for vulnerable populations.
As Congress begins to debate the proposal, the “Great Healthcare Plan” is expected to become a central issue in the broader national conversation on healthcare reform.
Whether it can gain enough bipartisan support to pass remains uncertain, but the administration has made clear that healthcare reform will remain a top legislative priority in the months ahead.
