Trump Rejects Two-Year ACA Subsidy Extension Plan
According to Reuters, speaking to reporters on Air Force One en route to Florida for the Thanksgiving holiday, Trump rejected reports that he backed a two-year renewal of expanded Affordable Care Act premium subsidies.
"I dont want to extend them for two years. Id rather not extend them at all," he said. But he added, "Some kind of extension may be necessary to get something else done," without offering details.
His remarks followed a Politico report on Monday that stated Trumps aides had circulated a draft health policy framework to extend the subsidies for two years with tighter income limits and other changes.

tighter income limits, he just doesn't want to admit it explicitedly because his base will go nuts. But who knows with Congress mucking up works.
Then, I hope Democrats go into midterms pushing comprehensive healthcare reform.
