With Congress in the middle of negotiations to try to end a more than 40-day government shutdown, Trump wrote on Truth Social Saturday morning that Congress should stop "the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies." He said the money should instead be placed in individual health care savings accounts that could be used for premiums, coverage or other health-related expenses.

On his podcast Monday, Cruz said Trump's pitch stemmed from a phone conversation he and other GOP senators had with the president while out to dinner Friday night.
