Trump never said this. The columnist is intentionally being deceptive by mixing quotes with his own words. He is being very dishonest.
That is a good observation. I did not see that, but did he actually say “I’ll enact universal health coverage”? If he did not...
"I'm a conservative on most issues but a liberal on health. It is an unacceptable but accurate fact that the number of uninsured Americans has risen to 42 million. Working out detailed plans will take time. But the goal should be clear: Our people are our greatest asset. We must take care of our own. We must have universal healthcare."

Who should I believe when it comes to what Donald Trump said about universal health care? You or his own book? Hmmm.
Oh, he absolutely said it.
