@justinfreakin: Trump Announces $500 Obamacare Refund Checks President Donald Trump announced Thursday that the federal government will issue $500 Obamacare refunds to nearly 1 million people starting in October. The refunds will be available to enrollees in Obamacare — the informal name for the Affordable Care Act — from 30 states that use the federally run exchange to operate their healthcare marketplace, according to a White House fact sheet published Thursday. A White House official said recipients are largely those from middle-income households who don’t currently receive federal financial assistance for insurance premiums. The refund payments — which would total about $500 million — come just weeks before the midterm elections, in which Democrats are favored to win back at least one chamber of Congress from Republicans. #trump #politicstiktok #election
