Abdul El-Sayed Tempts Trump With 2 Things He Can’t Resist
Key Points:
- Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed (D-Mich.) proposed naming a Medicare-for-all health care system "TrumpCare," featuring a gold card with President Donald Trump's signature, to gain the president's support for universal health care.
- The "TrumpCare" card would guarantee health coverage for every American with no premiums, deductibles, or copays, usable at any doctor, hospital, or clinic nationwide.
- El-Sayed highlighted Trump's known affinity for gold and branding his name on various properties as a strategic appeal to win his backing for the health care plan.
- Despite Trump's previous resistance to certain naming proposals, El-Sayed indicated that naming the program after Trump is not a dealbreaker in advancing universal health care.
