President Donald Trump announced plans to give more than 20 million seniors $90 each to cover Medicare Part B premiums ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. The announcement follows previous pledges of $500 ACA rebate checks to about 1 million people and a campaign promise to send $5,000 to every American adult if Republicans keep control of Congress. The $5,000 pledge would cost over $1 trillion and require congressional approval. Trump also noted that 70,000 families in Ohio will receive ACA rebates within days, and referenced prior $1,776 military payments announced in December. Polls indicate only 17% of Americans approve of his handling of inflation.
