Back in 2000, Trump was all for single payer, loved the Canadian system of Healthcare

From Trumps quickie campaign book of 2000

"We must have universal healthcare," wrote Trump. "I'm a conservative on most issues but a liberal on this one. We should not hear so many stories of families ruined by healthcare expenses."

The goal of health care reform, wrote Trump, should be a system that looks a lot like Canada. "Doctors might be paid less than they are now, as is the case in Canada, but they would be able to treat more patients because of the reduction in their paperwork," he writes.

Not that it would ever happen, but it would be great if he were to go back to those views.
