Trump told reporters he wants to kill the Affordable Care Act subsidies when they expire, but he might cave if it helps him cut a bigger healthcare deal with Democrats. The guy basically said he'd rather hand cash straight to regular people instead of funneling it through insurance companies, calling the whole ACA system a disaster.
He shot down rumors about offering a two-year extension with stricter rules, saying that reporting was bogus. But he admitted talks are happening behind the scenes, which has Republicans pretty annoyed since they've spent forever trying to nuke Obamacare.
Democrats have been hammering this subsidy thing since the shutdown drama, trying to force the GOP to pick a side. The whole situation is messy, and nobody seems thrilled about whatever compromise might happen.
