El-Sayed Pitches Gold TrumpCare Card to Win Backing for Medicare for All

Summary
Abdul El-Sayed on Thursday unveiled a mock gold “TrumpCare” card carrying Donald Trump’s name and signature as a pitch to secure White House support for universal health care.
The card describes a Medicare-for-all plan usable at every doctor, hospital and clinic nationwide, promising care with no premiums, deductibles or copays.
El-Sayed has recently argued he would name the program after Trump if that helped pass it, saying on CNN this week that the label is irrelevant if Americans get coverage.
The appeal is tailored to Trump’s well-known taste for gold decor and branding, which El-Sayed is using to reframe a progressive policy around the president’s personal preferences.
