DALLAS \u2014 President Trump announced what he dubbed \u201cthe Great Healthcare plan,\u201d featuring a crackdown on insurance companies, during his speech\u00a0at the GOP midterm convention\u00a0Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s exact timetable for\u00a0getting \u201cthe Great Healthcare plan\u201d passed\u00a0through Congress is not immediately clear, but the president also teased plans to make his policies to reduce prescription drug prices permanent and end surprise medical billing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will pass the Great Healthcare plan to stop all government payments to big insurance\u00a0companies,\u00a0and give the money directly to the people, for you to buy your own healthcare and have money left over,\u201d Trump declared.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last year, when the enhanced Obamacare subsidies were set to expire, Republicans floated multiple different proposals for an alternative policy. Trump\u00a0had\u00a0gravitated towards the idea of taking the subsidies and giving them directly to consumers rather than\u00a0going\u00a0through insurance companies.<\/p>\n

Details of Trump\u2019s \u201cGreat Healthcare plan\u201d were sparse. Republicans previously attempted to enact comprehensive healthcare reform during his first\u00a0administration,\u00a0but were unable to get\u00a0it through the Senate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During his speech, Trump also touted other healthcare ideas and policies that he is pursuing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will end surprise medical\u00a0billing,\u00a0and require insurers and hospitals to post all prices clearly in plain English,\u201d the president vowed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will make our Most Favored Nation Agreements on prescription drug prices permanent, which reduces your prescription drug prices by 90%.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump also ticked through a slew of proposals, including ending no cash bail, ending \u201cout-of-control credit card swipe fees,\u201d passing the No Invasions Act, wrangling through the\u00a0Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, and ending \u201ctransgender mutilation of your children.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new policy push comes as Trump\u00a0is trying\u00a0to energize the Republican base to avoid major losses in November and defy the historical trend of the party\u00a0in control of the White House losing House seats in the midterms.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe have to have Congress. We have to have the majorities. If we don\u2019t have the majorities, so much can be lost,\u201d Trump stressed. \u201cThey\u2019re so destructive. These people. They have no heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to make sure they don\u2019t have a chance to destroy our country,\u201d he added. \u201cThis is one of the most important elections of your lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
