特朗普政府宣布将向30个州的近100万《平价医疗法案》参与者发放500美元补贴，这是白宫在11月中期选举前为缓解生活成本担忧推出的最新举措。
白宫在该计划的情况说明书中表示，此次发放补贴是因为拜登政府此前通过“医保交易所‘用户费’将成本转嫁给消费者，推高了保费”，从而超额收取了《平价医疗法案》参保人的费用。
白宫称，这笔补贴是政府降低美国人医疗成本目标的一部分，款项将于10月起开始发放。
特朗普总统周四在声明中表示：“特朗普总统正在兑现承诺，将美国患者放在首位，对抗那些利用华盛顿现状抬高美国人医疗成本的大型保险公司、药品制造商和其他企业巨头，切实降低患者的医疗开支。”
此次公告发布距离中期选举不到两个月，民生钱包问题预计将成为选民投票的关键议题。哥伦比亚广播公司7月的一项民调显示，在近2200名受访者中，有四分之三的人称收入涨幅跟不上通胀。
特朗普本周还单独做出承诺，如果共和党在中期选举后继续掌控国会，将向每位美国成年人发放5000美元现金红利。
去年国会终止了医保补贴政策后，《平价医疗法案》（即奥巴马医改）医保计划的月保费大幅上涨。一些参保人随后降级了自己的医保计划，还有一些人在保费飙升后干脆放弃了医保。

凯泽家庭基金会（KFF）在2月至3月开展的一项民调显示，80%的续缴保费的《平价医疗法案》参保人称自己的保费、自付额、共付保险比例和挂号费都比去年更高。
凯泽家庭基金会健康政策执行副总裁拉里·莱维特周五在一份声明中表示，特朗普政府的这笔《平价医疗法案》补贴将主要发放给“那些因国会未延长强化税收抵免而失去补贴的中等收入人群，他们目前每年要多支付数千美元的医保费用”。
此次发放的补贴将覆盖通过《平价医疗法案》交易所购买医保的1900万人中的约5%。

Trump administration to send $500 payments to nearly 1 million Obamacare participants

The Trump administration is promising to send $500 payments to nearly 1 million Affordable Care Act participants in 30 states, the White House’s latest effort to address cost-of-living concerns ahead of the November midterm elections.
In a fact sheet on the initiative, the White House said it was issuing refunds after the Biden administration overcharged ACA enrollees though “plan exchange ‘user fees’ that were passed on to consumers in the form of higher premiums.”
The White House said the checks are part of the administration’s goal to lower healthcare costs for Americans. The payments are set to go out starting in October.
“President Trump is delivering on promises to lower costs for American patients by putting them first and taking on big health insurance companies, drug manufacturers and other corporate giants that have used the status quo in Washington to raise healthcare costs for Americans,” the White House said on Thursday.
The announcement comes less than two months before the midterm elections, with pocketbook issues expected to be a key issue as voters cast their ballots. Three-quarters of nearly 2,200 respondents said their income is not keeping up with inflation, according to a July CBS News poll.
Mr. Trump separately pledged this week to send a $5,000 dividend to every U.S. adult if Republicans maintain control of Congress after the midterms.
Monthly premiums for Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, health plans have soared after Congress last year allowed coverage subsidies to expire. Some enrollees subsequently downgraded their plans, while others have decided to forgo insurance altogether after their plan costs spiked.

In a KFF poll fielded between February and March, 80% of returning ACA participants said their premiums, deductibles, or coinsurance and copays were higher than last year.
Larry Levitt, executive vice president for health policy at KFF, said in a statement on Friday that the Trump administration’s ACA payments will mostly go to “middle-income people who lost subsidies when Congress did not extend enhanced tax credits, and are now paying in many cases thousands of dollars more.”
The checks will cover roughly 5% of the 19 million people who receive insurance through the Affordable Care Act exchange.
