I really don't know what your point is. The NHS funding model
is better than
any American health care system.
The Americans have a different philosophy re health care provision; as much free market privatisation as possible from the Republicans, and some government intervention from the Democrats.
We, in the UK believe in free at the point of delivery, funded by taxation. No matter what your financial status, you will get healthcare in the UK.
The American health Insurance model is an anathema to people in the UK, But it is their country and they have a right to choose how healthcare is funded.
I believe Trump does want to make sure everyone is covered and that bill wouldn't have done it. The encouraging thing is that Trump has invited Democrat input, to try to get a more consensus policy. Maybe Trump should have stood as an independent?
