Donald Trump’s policies created a healthcare affordability crisis – and now his administration is encouraging Americans to borrow money from their own insurers just to afford the care they need. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/b...

Should insurers start lending their customers money so they can cover the plans’ high deductibles? It’s one idea being floated by the Trump administration. Here’s my story: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/b...

Encouraging Americans to take out a loan to pay for the care they need is the WORST idea I’ve heard to address the health care crisis in this country. More than a third of American households already carry medical debt.

Americans are already drowning in medical debt. Now Trump officials are suggesting people take out loans from their insurance companies just to afford care. Health care should heal people, not trap them in debt. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/b...

“At a time when more than a third of American households already have some kind of medical debt, experts expressed dismay at the possibility… “The last thing you want to do is to increase deductibles and load people up with more medical debt,” said Neale Mahoney, an economist”

For millions of Americans, health insurance costs skyrocketed after Republicans let critical ACA tax credits expire.  Now what’s the Trump-Vance Administration’s response to burdensome medical bills piling up? Get a loan.

This is why I support Medicare for All. No one should ever be forced to take out loans from their insurance company to get the care they need. The hypocrisy and greed on display here is astounding. Our healthcare system is in need of major reform — and we have a plan to do it.
