Ellen Allen received a letter from President Trump detailing a $500 payment she was given, which covers roughly one‑quarter of the monthly premium she must pay for her ACA health insurance after premiums surged in 2026. The letter explains the payment as part of Trump’s initiative, and NPR has redacted Allen’s address in the document to protect her privacy.
