Nov. 9, 2025, 2:27 PM ESTBy Alexandra MarquezPresident Donald Trump this weekend floated directly paying Americans for their health care costs and giving out $2,000 dividends from tariff revenue, ideas that administration officials later said were not formal proposals being sent to the Senate.In one Truth Social post on Saturday, the president wrote, “I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE.”The following day, he again posted that Republicans should give money directly to people’s health savings accounts, which allow people to save pretax money that can be used for certain medical expenses.Referring to his tariff agenda, Trump wrote, “We are taking in Trillions of Dollars and will soon begin paying down our ENORMOUS DEBT, $37 Trillion. Record Investment in the USA, plants and factories going up all over the place. A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone.”Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday that the president’s recommendation to Senate Republicans on health care was not yet fully worked out.“We don’t have a formal proposal,” Bessent told ABC’s “This Week,” adding, “We’re not proposing it to the Senate right now, no.”Bessent said any such proposal was contingent on ending the government shutdown, which on Monday will stretch into its 40th day.“The president is posting about it, but again, we have got to get the government reopened before we do this. We are not going to negotiate with the Democrats until they reopen the government. It’s very simple,” he said.Kevin Hassett, the director of the National Economic Council, similarly downplayed the idea on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” Sunday morning.“He’s brainstorming and trying to help the Senate come up with a deal that can get the government open,” Hassett said.“Everybody believes that people should have health care, and so why not take the people who have higher health care premiums and just mail them a check and let them decide,” he added.Hassett said the idea hasn’t been widely discussed within the Senate or the Trump administration.“The president started this idea yesterday. I don’t think that it’s been discussed widely in the Senate yet. It’s the weekend,” Hassett added. The Senate remained in Washington over the weekend, gaveling into rare Saturday and Sunday sessions to continue discussions about how to end the shutdown.Bessent was also asked on ABC about Trump’s proposal to give people a $2,000 tariff “dividend.” He said he hadn’t yet spoken to the president about it, but that it “could come in lots of forms.”“It could be just the tax decreases that we are seeing on the president’s agenda: no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security, deductibility of auto loans,” he said. “So those are substantial deductions that are being financed in the tax bill.”The idea of sending tariff rebate checks came up earlier this year as well.After Trump in July said he would favor sending tariff rebate checks to Americans, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., introduced a bill that would provide $600 checks to American adults and children using tariff revenue. The Senate has not yet taken up that bill for a vote.Trump’s posts came as Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill remained in a stalemate over the ongoing government shutdown, with no clear path to a deal.An NBC News poll released earlier this month found that Americans blame Republicans more for the shutdown than they do Democrats.Democrats swept Tuesday’s elections, winning by larger-than-expected margins in key races in New Jersey and Virginia. Exit polls found that voters in those states generally disapproved of Trump’s job in office so far and were sour on the state of the U.S. economy.Since then, Trump has doubled down on his insistence that the economy is strong. In one of the Truth Social posts on Sunday, the president wrote, “People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS! We are now the Richest, Most Respected Country In the World, With Almost No Inflation, and A Record Stock Market Price. 401k’s are Highest EVER.”Still, the posts this weekend seemed to be an acknowledgment that Republicans may need to do more.In a memo Friday, Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin called Tuesday’s elections “an unequivocal Blue Sweep” brought about because “Donald Trump and the Republicans are screwing Americans, while Democrats are fighting for them.”Alexandra MarquezAlexandra Marquez is a politics reporter for NBC News.

Norway is the all-time medal leader in winter competition, and at the 2022 Games in Beijing, the U.S. finished third in the medal count, behind first-place Norway and second-place Germany.For the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympic Games, here are the events in which Americans are most likely to take home some hardware.Freestyle skiingFreestyle skiing was the event most kind to Americans in 2022, as the United States won a total of eight medals across the competitions.Alex Hall will be defending his gold medal in the men’s slopestyle, while the U.S. will also be looking to repeat gold in mixed team aerials.There were also four silver medalists, including Jaelin Kauf in women’s moguls, Colby Stevenson in men’s big air and David Wise in men’s halfpipe. Kauf, Stevenson and Wise are all set to return to the Games next year.Nick Goepper also won silver in men’s slopestyle, but he has retired from that competition and will switch to halfpipe in Italy.SnowboardingSnowboarding was arguably the U.S.’ best event in Beijing, as the country took home three gold medals, the most of any discipline.The headliner will be Chloe Kim, who in 2018 became the youngest woman to win a snowboarding gold medal when she won at 17 years old in the women’s halfpipe. Lindsey Jacobellis won two golds: a solo one in snowboard cross and a team win with Nick Baumgartner in mixed snowboard cross. Baumgartner, 43, and Jacobellis, 40, are the elder statespeople of the group. While Baumgartner is training for his fifth Olympics, Jacobellis’ participation is up in the air after she had a child earlier this year.Figure skatingThe U.S. won three medals in figure skating in 2022, but one of its most decorated skaters won’t be defending his title in Italy.Nathan Chen, who won gold in both men’s singles and the team event, won’t compete in 2026 as he has decided to pursue medical school instead.“I just want to open doors to kind of see what’s the best sort of approach for me,” Chen told the Los Angeles Times in August. “And frankly, at this point in time in my life, I’ve already accomplished enough in skating that I’m quite satisfied with my career.”The States will still be looking to defend its team title, which includes wife and husband Madison Chock and Evan Bates.The ice dance team of Zachary Donohue and Madison Hubbell, who won bronze and participated in the team event, won’t be returning after retiring from competition in 2022.Some youthful faces should be in their skating prime, however: Alysa Liu and Amber Glenn will both be coming off championships in 2025, while Ilia Malinin — the only skater to land a fully rotated quadruple axel — will be participating in his first Olympics.BobsleighOr as you probably know it, bobsled, was responsible for three American medals in Beijing. Two women took home hardware in monobob. Elana Meyers Taylor won silver, while Kaillie Humphries — who competed for Canada in 2010, 2014 and 2018 — won gold.Humphries became a naturalized American citizen shortly before the 2022 Games. She stopped competing for Canada after filing a harassment complaint in 2018. Meyers Taylor, who will be participating in her fifth Olympics in 2026, also won bronze in the two-woman with Sylvia Hoffman.Cross-country skiing, Alpine skiing and ice hockeyThe U.S. won four medals across these three disciplines, though they should receive a boost in 2026.Lindsey Vonn, who has three Olympic medals, is returning to Alpine skiing. She retired from competition in 2019 after suffering several injuries, but resumed her career late last year. Mikaela Shiffrin, Alpine skiing’s most decorated athlete, is looking to return to the podium in 2026. She won golds in 2014 and 2018 but uncharacteristically struggled in Beijing. Shiffrin is still working her way back to her athletic peak after suffering a serious injury last November.In ice hockey, the United States women will be looking for redemption after winning silver in 2022. The men, who did not make the podium in Beijing, will have some reinforcements next year as NHL players will be returning to the Games for the first time since 2014.Rohan NadkarniRohan Nadkarni is a sports reporter for NBC News.
