From a link to the article you cited:
“Emanuel said in February 2016 that he was absolutely never asked his opinion on health care reform by Trump people, and further he knew of no one else who has been asked.

Trump did meet with Dr Death in December of 2016, as noted in articles posted.
That is over a year ago. I am referring to three meetings that Emanuel has had with Trump since the election, where Emanuel was specifically advising Trump on Obamacare amendments.
