They also removed text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.

NEW: Donald Trump says he wants ACA funds to end after 2025
“I’d rather not" extend them, he tells reporters on AF1. "I don’t want to extend them for two years. I’d rather not extend them at all."
He wants cash to go "directly" to people. Unclear how that'd work.
