On November 12, Michigan Senate-elect Abdul El-Sayed appealed to President Donald Trump to introduce free Medicare for all Americans and suggested “Trumpcare: Medicare for All Health Insurance” as the title.“This is a message for @realDonaldTrump. Donald, this is on the table. Guarantee healthcare for every American, from cradle to grave,” El-Sayed, 42, shared across all his social media accounts.The post was accompanied by images of a Trumpcare gold card prototype. It looked like a debit card and had the words “Trumpcare” written in bold with the person’s name, Medicare number, and unique barcode. The coverage included hospital and medical care, prescription drugs, and dental, vision, and hearing.The prototype had the stamps of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. It also listed the website trumpcare.gov and an accompanying phone number.Under the “Members” column, it was written that the card could be used at any hospital, clinic, pharmacy, or doctor in the United States without paying premiums, deductibles, or co-pays. The “Providers” column stated that Trumpcare was “accepted nationwide” and that “no network restrictions apply.” The prototype card directed users to verify eligibility and submit claims on the website. The “Questions” column also directed users to call the nationwide helpline or visit its website.Exploring Abdul El-Sayed's "Medicare for all" policyBefore running for the Senate, Abdul El-Sayed was an epidemiologist with a doctorate in public health from Oriel College, Oxford, and an MD degree from Columbia University, where he also served as an assistant professor of epidemiology at the Mailman School of Public Health.From 2015 to 2017, El-Sayed served as the executive director of the Detroit Health Department. Later, between 2023 and 2025, he was the director of the Wayne County Department of Health, Human, and Veterans Services.Abdul El-Sayed once co-wrote a book with Micah Johnson titled Medicare for All: A Citizen’s Guide. It offered a “realistic roadmap” to free healthcare for all Americans and the “prospects and perils” of enacting Medicare for All policy in the USA.On his website, abdulforsenate.com, the policy is branded as a “path to a healthier America.” He put his vision forward and wrote:“Medicare should be automatic, for everyone, and accepted everywhere. Medicare for All does not have to ban additional private insurance through unions or employers, although Medicare for All should make those choices redundant and unnecessary.”Since he began his Senate campaign, Abdul El-Sayed has run on the motto:“To get money out of politics, put money in your pocket, and pass Medicare for all.”On November 12, he sat down with The Detroit News from his new Capitol Hill office and spoke about branding universal healthcare “Trumpcare for All” and his willingness to work with the POTUS to make it a reality.“Trumpcare for All: it’s right there in the name. He can put his name on this signature legislation that frees Americans from the burden that they had to carry because of our private health insurance system. So, it’s right there. I’ll work with anyone. I am a professional. I’ll lead by bipartisanship. Let’s go get healthcare for all,” Abdul El-Sayed stated.On Sunday, the Senate-elect appeared on ABC News’ This Week and said:“Let’s talk about how he is an unserious fool. Think about this war in Iran that every single president had resisted fighting because, of course, it was a dumb idea. Let’s talk about the foolishness of a tariff war with Canada… Let’s talk about the foolishness of gutting Medicaid to pass tax cuts for the richest people in America.”Abdul El-Sayed added:“So, look, if he wants to act serious, we are happy to work alongside him to actually address these issues. He is the president of the United States. But if he wants to continue to fool, he will hire people like Stephen Miller to run the White House, and he gets to choose where he goes next.”He doubled down on his previous claim that if Trump “advances the goals” he ran on, he’d be his ally.“I’ve said this, if he wants to pass Trumpcare for all, which will guarantee health care to everyone and put his name on it like he’s putting his name on everything, I’m game,” El-Sayed said on This Week.When pressed about whether Chuck Schumer should continue leading the Senate Democrats, Abdul El-Sayed responded:“I want leadership who is going to deliver on the goal of getting money out of politics, put money in pockets, and pass Medicare for all. As you know, a vote is a choice between two or more options. I don’t know what those options are, but I am committed to making sure that we can deliver on the goals that we need, and we need action now.”The Michigan native has previously voiced his support for Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen as the new Senate Majority Leader.
