Trump Declares ‘No More Money’ for ‘Really Bad Obamacare’
President Donald Trump announced that his administration will halt additional funding related to the Affordable Care Act, vowing to end what he called “really bad Obamacare” once and for all.
Speaking at a policy event in Florida, President Trump criticized the Affordable Care Act as a “failed system that drains taxpayers and delivers inferior care.” He said his administration would block any new allocations to programs tied to the health law, signaling a renewed effort to dismantle its remaining provisions.
“There will be no more money for Obamacare. We’re done funding failure,” Trump told supporters, reiterating his long-standing pledge to replace the law with what he described as “a far better, fairer, and freer system.”
Administration officials indicated that the decision could affect subsidies and federal cost-sharing programs still operating under ACA frameworks. The Department of Health and Human Services is expected to issue formal guidance in the coming weeks detailing the legal and budgetary implications of the move.
Critics argue that ending the funding could disrupt coverage for millions of Americans and spark fresh legal challenges.
Democratic lawmakers condemned the statement, accusing the administration of undermining healthcare access for lower-income families.
The renewed push against the ACA follows a series of executive and legislative actions aimed at reshaping the nation’s healthcare system, reflecting one of President Trump’s core political promises.
