Health official Chris Jones warns U.S. healthcare faces crisis from high costs, not financing, urging price transparency and defending Medicaid work rules.
Former North Dakota health official Chris Jones, now advising the Trump administration, said on October 10, 2025, that the U.S. healthcare system is nearing a crisis due to unaffordable costs, not flawed financing.
He cited confusion caused by complex insurance, subsidies, and provider networks, urging price transparency to empower patients.
Jones dismissed Democratic claims of widespread harm during the government shutdown as inaccurate and defended new Medicaid work requirements for adults 19 to 64, likening them to existing rules for food stamps and welfare.
The discussion also touched on state leadership changes and a bridge loan program for furloughed workers.
