President Donald Trump reportedly mused to top aides about a healthcare policy that aligns with Bernie Sanders' healthcare platform, according to the explosive new book "Fire and Fury" by author Michael Wolff.
Wolff wrote that when the president was discussing healthcare and the possible repeal of the Affordable Care Act, he asked aides, "Why can't Medicare simply cover everybody?"
The idea of Medicare-for-all has grown popular in recent years among the left wing of the Democratic Party. Sanders introduced last year a bill that would expand the government healthcare program for seniors, drawing support from an array of Democratic senators, including Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, and 13 others.

You see Mr. President, if you do that then even black people will get healthcare. Now how can we eliminate them if we give them healthcare?
