POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — President Donald Trump has announced that some Americans will receive $500 refunds from the Affordable Care Act, following his promise to send $5,000 to every adult citizen if Republicans maintain control of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections.

In a White House video released on Thursday, Trump stated that nearly one million individuals across 30 states will soon receive the payments, likely arriving before the November election. The funds come from what the administration claims are excess fees collected from ACA enrollees, totaling $500 million.
