Trump Unveils Healthcare Plan to Lower Drug Costs and Premiums
President Trump has introduced a new healthcare plan called the 'Great Healthcare Plan'.
This plan aims to lower the costs of drugs and insurance premiums.
The main idea is to give people direct payments for health savings accounts, so they can manage their own insurance.
Trump wants Congress to pass this plan quickly to help people right away.
The plan also includes linking drug prices to the lowest prices in other countries.
Democrats think this plan is not enough to solve the problem of high healthcare costs.
Some senators are working on a compromise to extend subsidies and introduce health savings accounts.
Trump's plan also includes fully funding cost-sharing reductions, which would help lower-income people on 'Obamacare' plans.
