Trump Unveils ‘Great Healthcare Plan,’ Putting Nevada Families First
By TheNevadaGlobeStaff, January 16, 2026 8:28 am
President Donald Trump rolled out his “Great Healthcare Plan” this week, taking direct aim at the bloated, broken healthcare system that has crushed Nevada families with soaring costs, endless paperwork, and zero accountability. The plan is built around a simple idea Washington abandoned long ago: healthcare should work for patients, not politicians, insurers, or bureaucrats.
Trump’s proposal would deliver money directly to Americans, putting families back in control of their healthcare dollars instead of forcing them through government-designed mazes that jack up prices and limit options. For Nevadans staring down higher premiums, surprise medical bills, and shrinking provider networks, the plan promises immediate relief and real choice.
The White House says the plan cuts out middlemen, expands Health Savings Accounts, and forces price transparency so patients actually know what medical care costs before getting the bill. It also opens competition across state lines, a move expected to drive prices down in states like Nevada where limited competition has allowed costs to spiral out of control.
Trump also takes on runaway prescription drug prices, calling out a system that protects Big Pharma while seniors and working families pay the price. The plan cracks down on hidden fees and backroom deals that have turned routine care into a financial gut punch for millions of Americans.
The contrast with Democrats couldn’t be sharper. While Democrats push government-run healthcare schemes that explode costs, ration care, and trap families in bureaucratic quicksand, Trump’s plan puts power back in the hands of patients and doctors. One side trusts Washington. The other trusts Americans.
The administration is now calling on Congress to act, framing the moment as a choice between doubling down on a failed system or finally delivering lower costs and real freedom. For Nevada families who have had enough of broken promises and bigger bills, Trump’s message is blunt and unmistakable: healthcare relief doesn’t come from more government — it comes from getting government out of the way.
