Trump has repeatedly said that he wants to repeal Obamacare.

And he has advocated single payer.

"And he has advocated single payer."

As mentioned elsewhere, with the exception of Harvard Law School-indoctrinated Cruz, Trump is a constitutionally low-information candidate like all the other candidates are imo. So Trumps supporters need to get him up to speed on the federal governments constitutionally limited powers, the power to regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate healthcare purposes not among those powers. This is evidenced by the excerpts from Supreme Court case opinions below.

Regarding the Obamacare insurance mandate for example, note the fourth entry in the list below from Paul v. Virginia. In that case state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that regulating insurance is not within the scope of Congresss Commerce Clause powers (1.8.3), regardless if the parties negotiating the insurance policy are domiciled in different states.
