Cynthia Cox of the nonpartisan health research organization KFF says the details are sparse.
She says that could cause ACA marketplace premiums to skyrocket and weaken the markets.
The White House hopes that lawmakers will turn these ideas into a bill, but did not set a specific timeline.

What Trump is calling the Great Health Care Plan does not have any new or large-scale policy ideas in it.
It expresses support for price transparency and health savings accounts and drug pricing that considers the cost of medicines in other countries, all longstanding Republican health policy ideas.

A bipartisan group of senators is working on a deal to increase subsidies to 2025 levels.
