Can you imagine the arguments in the oval office? lol

Bern: "Let's give free health care to everyone!"
Don: "Who is going to pay for it?"
Bern: "Wall street taxes"
Don: "But that has nothing to do with health care."
Bern: "But they make too much money."
Don: "My argument still stands. Totally unrelated businesses. Stay focused old man."
Under breath Don mumbles.. "mur mur fired.."

Trump has supported single payer healthcare in the past, they probably would agree with each other eventually

Given that at the local level Sweden's (and Norway, from what I understand) health care is actually more libertarian, they could probably use that as a model.

For those curious: think of how food stamps work. You define a base level of care and provide vouchers for people to use, but they can go to any hospital they want to using those vouchers. At the end of every year, the hospitals are provided compensation for their care based on how many vouchers they've collected. That way it still gets to be capitalism, but has a base-level of support and there's still plenty of competition.

Leagues better than the top down system of medicare and medicaid we have now.
