True, but the USA pays more than 7 times what say Mexico pays for only slightly better health care. Think about it 7 times more, for an only marginally better system. Imagine if one console was 7 more than the other – would you recommend the significantly more expensive one? The problem with the USA's health care is that much of the dollars go to line other people profit pockets. Much of the money is funneled into wealthy shareholders - who did nothing to earn it other than buy some stock. This is waste that could actually go to help people.
Anyway, back to Trump. His supports should remember 'Freedom of Expression.' But that is assuming they read the US Constitution. You may hate what they say, but they have a right to say it.

Would you seriously want to go a mexican hosipital for a serious injury or medical problem (not immediately life threatening)? Mexico is a really bad example to compare the US to. Alot of mexicans are braving whatever dangers to illegally cross the southern border into the US to live there. I'm sure that's for a lot of reasons to run from mexico but mexico's healthcare apparantly not an incentive to stay.
Profit fuels the drive to rapidly research and develope new medicines medical technology, surgerial procedures/techniques. Universal healthcare doesn't. Besides universial healthcare is a kind of socialism or communism and that doesn't really mix well in the US.
