**President Trump Criticizes Obamacare Amid Government Shutdown, Proposes Direct Payments to Individuals**
*By Eric Mack | November 9, 2025 | Newsmax*
With the government shutdown dragging on and Obamacare subsidies running out, President Donald Trump is gearing up for a renewed battle against what he calls the failures of the Affordable Care Act.
“OBAMACARE ‘SUCKS,’” Trump wrote on Truth Social Sunday morning. “THE WORST HEALTHCARE FOR THE HIGHEST PRICE.”
On Saturday, amid the ongoing shutdown impasse, Trump floated a potential compromise, urging Republicans to redirect federal funds that currently go to health insurance companies under the Affordable Care Act and instead send that money directly to individuals.
“PAY THE PEOPLE, NOT THE INSURANCE COMPANIES!” he declared in a message that could appeal even to members of the Democratic base.
This post followed another Saturday night message targeting the “fat cat” insurance companies for profiting from what Trump calls a “corrupt system of healthcare” imposed on America by former President Barack Obama’s signature legislation.
“NO MORE MONEY, HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, TO THE DEMOCRAT SUPPORTED INSURANCE COMPANIES FOR REALLY BAD OBAMACARE,” Trump wrote on his social media platform. “THE MONEY MUST NOW GO DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE, TAKING THE ‘FAT CAT’ INSURANCE COMPANIES OUT OF THE CORRUPT SYSTEM OF HEALTHCARE.
“THE PEOPLE CAN BUY THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER POLICY, FOR MUCH LESS MONEY, SAVING, FOR THEMSELVES, AN ABSOLUTE FORTUNE!!! PRESIDENT DJT.”
