From the debate transcript you apparently don’t want to read or comprehend.

“Mr. Trump, ObamaCare is one of the things you call a disaster.
TRUMP: A complete disaster, yes.
BAIER: Saying it needs to be repealed and replaced.
TRUMP: Correct.
BAIER: Now, 15 years ago, uncalled yourself a liberal on health care. You were for a single-payer system, a Canadian-style system.
Why were you for that then and why aren’t you for it now?

TRUMP: As far as single payer, it works in Canada. It works incredibly well in Scotland. It could have worked in a different age, which is the age you’re talking about here.
What I’d like to see is a private system without the artificial lines around every state. I have a big company with thousands and thousands of employees. And if I’m negotiating in New York or in New Jersey or in California, I have like one bidder. Nobody can bid. You know why? Because the insurance companies are making a fortune because they have control of the politicians, of course, with the exception of the politicians on this stage. But they have total control of the politicians. They’re making a fortune. Get rid of the artificial lines and you will have yourself great plans. And then we have to take care of the people that can’t take care of themselves. And I will do that through a different system.”

I've read that many times. I have even posted it. Because it clearly illustrates Trump's praise of single-payer.

Here's a newsflash for you. Single-payer does not work in Canada or Scotland. Monopolies provide poorer service at higher cost than a fully competitive market. From Trump's words, he is trying to have it both ways. Yet these two ways are polar opposites.

Contrary to the BS that Trump is spouting, government doesn't give us more choices. A free market does. And it does so purely at the demand of the consumer - not because government tells them to do it. So anyone telling you that single payer works well is an enemy of the free market.
