The Trump administration plans to send up to $500 in direct rebates to 1 million Americans buying health insurance through Obamacare.
Critics called the move a 'gimmick'
President Trump announces $500 Obamacare rebates for nearly 1 million Americans the day after proposing $5,000 midterm dividends.
The Trump administration is promising $500 rebate checks to about 1 million ACA enrollees across 30 states.
It is unclear where the money for the rebates would come from and whether it requires congressional approval for disbursement.
The President said checks will be sent to nearly a million Americans as repayment for what he described as “excessive fees” charged under the Biden Administration.
