Didn’t the president already promise single payer for the United States?

I’ve had single payer since I was born. You’ll love it.

I think Trump will propose single payer within six months.

He suggested it in his campaign early.He is a businessman. He is a developer, of course which makes some things different but businesses would prefer single payer because it takes the expense of employee medical care off their shoulders.
Better for that one aspect would be for the tax benefits to employee "insurance" be removed and the o-care mandate for employer paid insurance to go away. That thing goes back to FDR and wage/price controls. During the war with controls on employers were not allowed to compete for scarce workers with higher pay. FDR did allow them to provide medical insurance partially tax free i.e. employees did not have to treat it as income. The big companies that were overflowing with war contracts competed for skills with medical insurance. That system was not terminated when controls came off in Eisenhower's first years.
