7:14Now PlayingTrump Initially Supported 'Medicare for All,' But Was Reportedly Talked Out of It
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPrior to his electoral victory in 2016, Donald Trump had signaled his support for a single-payer healthcare system—both directly and indirectly—and "demanded" to know why Medicare couldn't simply be "expanded to cover everybody" when he was first elected. However, he was reportedly talked out of this position by Republicans that were eager to repeal Obamacare instead. He was especially agreeable because he was reportedly bored during the said meeting and thought agreeing to what congressional Republicans wanted would allow him to leave early.
