Trump Issues Warning To Democrats
Washington, D.C. — President Donald Trump is once again calling out Democrats over what he says is the total collapse of ObamaCare, warning Americans that skyrocketing health insurance premiums are about to crush middle-class families and seniors on fixed incomes.
“As I’ve said for years, OBAMACARE IS A DISASTER! Rates are going through the roof for really bad healthcare! Do something, Democrats!!!” Trump wrote late Thursday on Truth Social.
His warning comes as the government shutdown drags toward the one-month mark. Senate Democrats are refusing to fund the government unless Republicans agree to extend costly Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, which expire at year’s end.
💥 Health Costs Could Soar for Seniors
Open enrollment begins this weekend — but if Democrats don’t act, healthcare costs could explode overnight.
A new analysis from the nonpartisan KFF Health Research Group shows that a 60-year-old earning around $65,000 a year could see premiums jump by more than $900 a month in 2026 — bringing total monthly costs to nearly $1,400 if the ACA tax credits disappear.
That’s a devastating hit for retirees already stretched thin by inflation, rising grocery bills, and higher energy costs.
🏛️ Republicans Push Back: “No More Blank Checks for ObamaCare”
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Republicans are willing to negotiate — but not to rubber-stamp more taxpayer waste.
“The expiring ObamaCare subsidy is a serious problem,” Johnson said Monday. “We’re throwing good money after bad policy. The system needs real reform, not another Washington bailout.”
Senate Majority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) added that Republicans will vote on a temporary extension only if Democrats agree to fund the government responsibly.
⚠️ Democrats Double Down on Failed Policy
Despite the warnings, Democrats remain dug in. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) went on MSNBC to accuse Republicans of “creating a healthcare crisis,” while conservatives argue that ObamaCare itself has caused years of premium hikes and doctor shortages.
Jeffries claimed that “hospitals and nursing homes are closing because of Republican policies,” but Republicans fired back — saying Democrats have controlled healthcare policy for over a decade and have nothing to show but higher prices and worse care.
🇺🇸 Trump’s Message: America Deserves Better
President Trump says the real solution is simple — replace ObamaCare with affordable, patient-driven healthcare that puts doctors and families, not bureaucrats, in charge.
“Other countries get better care for less money,” Trump said in a recent post. “We can do the same — if Democrats stop blocking reform.”
With the funding showdown intensifying and premiums set to soar, Trump’s call to action rings louder than ever:
“Fix the system. Lower the costs. Put Americans first.”
