Vice President JD Vance on Thursday teased a "great" healthcare plan that the Trump administration has in the works to help bring costs down for American families, saying President Donald Trump cares about fixing a broken system, not playing political games with Democrats.

Vance made the remarks during a fireside chat with Breitbart’s Matt Boyle in Washington, D.C., when asked about Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies expiring at the end of the year and the high costs of healthcare prices and premiums.

"I don't want to get ahead of the President ... because we had a very, very good meeting the Oval Office yesterday," Vance said. "I think that we have a great health care plan coming together. I think that it's going to get Republican and Democrat support. And I think the president, look, right now, American people, the American people get crap healthcare and they pay way too much for it."

Americans could see sharp increases in healthcare premiums in 2026 as ACA subsidies are set to expire at the end of 2025, with their extension uncertain. Those using the ACA marketplace are already projected to face a 26% premium hike. If subsidies lapse, monthly payments for subsidized patients could jump by 114%, according to an October analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Vance described the healthcare system as "broken," claiming it was the Democrats who "broke it," but said the Trump administration still wants to work together if Democrats are "willing to fix it." He touted Trump’s leadership, saying that the president cares more about doing what is right for American families than playing politics.

"People come to the president and say, ‘No, no, no, don't talk about health care. That's a graveyard for Republicans. Republicans always lose on health care,’" Vance said. "And the president's like, ‘I don't care about the politics of it. This system is screwed up for the American people. We need to fix it. So let's go and do it. Politics be damned.’"

He added: "I love that. That's leadership. And that's exactly what we should want coming from the White House."

OBAMACARE SUBSIDIES AT CENTER OF DEM SHUTDOWN FIGHT 'FUEL' HEALTHCARE COST INFLATION, CONSERVATIVES SAY 

Republicans and Democrats clashed over whether to extend expiring ACA subsidies, triggering a shutdown that lasted more than 40 days — the longest in U.S. history.

Democrats initially refused to support a funding measure without a provision to make the subsidies permanent but eventually backed a short-term bill that did not include the extension. However, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., agreed to hold a vote in December on legislation to continue the credits.

Trump has signaled he would not back continuing the subsidies and said in a social media post Tuesday that Congress should not "waste" its time on negotiating an extension.

"THE ONLY HEALTHCARE I WILL SUPPORT OR APPROVE IS SENDING THE MONEY DIRECTLY BACK TO THE PEOPLE," Trump said in the post.

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" star Cheryl Hines is calling out what she sees as hypocrisy in Hollywood. 

The 60-year-old actress says she's faced backlash from her entertainment industry colleagues over her marriage to Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who is serving as Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary in President Donald Trump's second administration. 

During a recent interview with the Times of London, Hines candidly shared her thoughts on what she sees as Hollywood’s double standards. 

"I have compassion for those actors and entertainers who really want people to know where they stand morally, I suppose," Hines said. "[But] I’ve never been one of them. I’ve been a person who has not been politically inclined. But it is eye-opening to see people really wanting to tell you how much their morals do not line up with, say, the present administration, because they don’t like hate or judgment."

She continued, "But then that’s exactly what they inflict on other people: ‘We’re inclusive. We like everybody regardless. Except her. She’s married to this guy and I don’t like that guy.’"

Kennedy has drawn criticism for his long history of controversial views on vaccines and public health policies. The former environmental lawyer's detractors have also denounced him for breaking with the Democratic party and aligning with Trump. 

Hines has been married to Kennedy since 2014. Before they tied the knot, she was married to producer Paul Young, with whom she shares one daughter, Catherine, born in 2004.

The Emmy nominee has previously said that some of her friends in Hollywood no longer speak to her, including her "Curb Your Enthusiasm" co-star Larry David, who introduced her to Kennedy.

When asked if David or any of her other estranged friends reached out to her during her recent tour for her new memoir, "Unscripted," Hines told the Times, "No, but in all fairness, I haven’t reached out to them." 

"On one hand it sounds like a big deal to people, and on another, it’s not," she continued. "It’s a moment in time. If I saw Larry I would be happy to see him. I don’t know what the conversation would be like, but I think it would be perfectly fine."

Hines also expressed her support for Sydney Sweeney's choice not to comment on the controversy around her American Eagle "Great Jeans" ad campaign.

"She hasn’t felt the need to come out and say, ‘You’ve got it wrong. I believe this. I vote this way.’ It’s nobody’s business. She’s there to entertain people," Hines said.

During an appearance last month on the "The Katie Miller Podcast," Hines reflected on losing friends over her marriage.

"I have had some friends who are so emotional about politics that even me being married to Bobby is too much for them," she said. "It’s too much emotionally to even have a friendship with me. They can’t be relaxed around me."

After she was asked whether her husband’s politics had led to her losing roles, Hines responded, "Probably," but added that some people in Hollywood have continued to support her.

"There are people that feel like they can’t separate the fact that I’m married to Bobby," Hines said. "And there are also people in the entertainment industry coming up to me saying, ‘I really want to work with you.’ It’s a double-edged sword."
