Exclusive: Trump plans to send $500 Obamacare rebates before election

Summary

President Trump’s administration plans to send $500 rebate checks to about 1 million people in 30 states who were overcharged for their Obamacare health insurance. The rebates come from a $500 million government fund collected from extra fees paid during the Biden administration and aim to help people directly with their health costs before the November midterm election.

Key Facts
