Probably not approved for what you stated, per Congress, is my guess.
Just don't spend it on anything and it goes back into the budget "pile" thereby cutting the deficit.

The boomer obsession from podcast bros is hilarious.

It's been 18 years...it must not be so easy as to "just not spend it".

Yes, money has been withdrawn or offset from the fund by Congress for other legislation, but actual direct spending to benefit enrollees has only just begun.
?? Fund History & Utilization
• Creation: Established by Congress in 2008.
• Congressional Offsets: Congress previously reduced or tapped baseline balances around 20 times to offset other legislative spending.
• Direct Administration Spending: Previous administrations and CMS had never spent the money on direct healthcare improvements or beneficiary rebates until October 2026.
The bolded part seems to make the slush funds claim true.
The President can direct how it is spent...to a point...but only Congress can do away with it.

Are you as a democrat trying to complain about free handouts?
Trump loves free handouts. So did W Bush. See, you only defend this when a Republican does it. It’s bad when either party does it.
