President Donald Trump proposed redirecting Affordable Care Act insurer payments straight to Americans to buy their own coverage, pitching it as a way to end the record-long shutdown. In a Saturday Truth Social post offering no specifics, he also renewed his push to scrap the Senate filibuster. The proposal followed Senate Republicans’ rejection of a Democratic offer to reopen the government while preserving ACA subsidies for a year. GOP leaders labeled that plan a nonstarter. Key offices, including the White House, offered no immediate comment as negotiations remained stalled and the subsidies neared a year-end expiration.
