NORTHBROOK, IL – (Greg Bishop, Illinois News Network. Please click on the link above for the full story. Here is an excerpt below)
A health insurance expert says the media got it wrong last week when they reported the Trump Administration is cutting health care subsidies to individuals.
Mark Gurda, president of Castle Group Health out of Northbrook, said early reports last week about President Donald Trump’s executive orders on health insurance subsidies were incorrect. Some of those reports said the subsidies were being taken away from individuals.
“Those payments to the insurance company are being halted,” Gurda said. “Nothing is being halted to individuals.”
Those payments were part of a federal court case challenging the payments as not being appropriated by Congress. Friday, Trump’s administration notified the courts the payments ended because Congress didn’t approve the spending.
