  Speaker 1: Welcome to Check with Chip, brought to you by Operation

  Speaker 1: Blue Dot Red, turning the blue dot red one podcast
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: at a time. I have written books and love to
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: talk about limited government and fiscal responsibility and legacy America,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: our constitutional democratic capitalist republic, rooted in Western civilization, based
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: on natural law and 4,000 years of Judeo-Christian teaching, all
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: for the crusade to turn the blue dot red. Then
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: comes this, a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Oh boy, the IRS is part of the Treasury Department.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: What's this going to be? Enclosed was a check for $ 1, 000.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: And a letter from the Honorable Donald J. Trump, President
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: of the United States of America. I got this check
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: and letter because my employer has employees purchase health care
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: through the Obamacare system and then provides a partial reimbursement.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Here's what the letter said. For years, the Biden administration
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: overcharged you to fund the operation of healthcare.gov. That money
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: belongs to hardworking Americans, not the government, and now I
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: am returning it to you. With this historic action, my
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: administration is taking the surplus funds that accumulated from the
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Obamacare premium tax and and issuing a one-time $ 500 refund
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to Americans who use the healthcare.gov platform to purchase their
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: health insurance, but who do not receive taxpayer subsidies to
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: help pay for their coverage. You have paid into this
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: flawed system, and now you are finally getting something back.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Healthcare dollars should benefit patients, not insurance companies or government bureaucrats.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Since returning to office... I have fought to lower health
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: care costs, increase accountability, and put patients first. Through TrumpRx,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: we are delivering massive discounts on household prescription drugs, and
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: my most favored nation pricing agreements have already saved Americans
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: more than $ 1 billion on much-needed medications. We also secured
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: an unprecedented $ 50 billion investment to transform rural health care
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: expanded access to health savings accounts for millions of people
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: on Obamacare, and restored price transparency, all while rooting out
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the waste, fraud, and abuse across our health care system.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I am proud to return your money to you, and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I will never stop fighting to put the American people first.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Restore affordability, protect your hard-earned money, and lower the cost
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: of health care. May God bless you and may he
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: continue to bless the United States of America. The plans
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: available via Obamacare are terrible and very expensive. The reimbursement
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: is welcome, especially if it is Obamacare overpayment and not
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: just a giveaway from the federal treasury. But the timing
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: is intriguing. Single Americans paying for Obamacare are getting $ 500 checks. Couples, $ 1, 000.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I presume a family of four on Obamacare gets $ 2, 000
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: a month before the election, and just as early ballots
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: start going out. I'll keep promoting the fiscal and cultural
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: principles of legacy America, but maybe a check and a
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: letter from the president does as much as anything to
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: motivate voters. There are only about a million of us
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: getting these checks, but it can't hurt nationally to and
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: in the local quest to turn the blue dot red.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: That's Check with Chip. I'm Chip Maxwell. Thank you for listening.
