Trump has never said that he wants Government funded healthcare for all, although that has been misreported frequently. Trump’s healthcare plan is private insurance with competition across State lines.
Veterans would be able to use the same doctors and hospitals as everyone else, not just VA facilities. Trump said that he supports a saftey net so that the indigent and those with preexisting conditions are not left without any care.
As a physician I know that America used to take care of the indigent with charity care by physicians and hospitals, all picking up part of the care. Hillary Clinton destroyed the charity system by polarizing insurers and hospitals in her attempt to create a Government Healthcare system. Within 5 years all the city/charity hospitals began to close creating a desert of care for the indigent and those with preexisting conditions.
Charity care is now provided much less well and more expensively by Medicaid. Donald Trump has said that those patients will continue to be cared for but more efficiently. That is what people are falsely calling single payer health care. Trump has contributed to the confusion by everyone will have Health Care. Trump means that no one is left to die on the street. They aren’t now and he is reassuring that they will not be after Obama care is dismantled. He has categorically stated that the vast majority will have private healthcare that they direct. He is in favor of HSA. There will be a second system for the indigent.

“Trump has contributed to the confusion by everyone will have Health Care.”
And by saying the government will pay for it.
In reality, I have no idea what Trump intends. Neither do you. Neither does Trump. And that is a problem.
