Bessent Says Health-Care Announcement Coming This Week

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the Trump administration is working on bringing down US health-care costs and an announcement to address the issue is planned for this week.

“We believe health care’s going to come down,” Bessent said Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press in response to a question about Vice President JD Vance asking Americans for “a little bit of patience” as the White House works out a plan to address the cost of living.
