In an interview on PBS NewsHour, Abdul El-Sayed says he doesn't care what it's called because he "ran to get people health care." He says collective medical debt is greater than the GDP of half the states, while the president is fighting a war, and tells Trump to put his name on a program that "could finally address the unmet promise of America."

And you've said recently that you are willing to call it Trumpcare for All if that helps to get the president on board. Is that a serious offer? Yeah. I mean, look, I don't care what we call it. I ran to get people health care. I really don't care what the name is. I want you to think about this. We are the richest, most powerful country in the world. And the idea that you cannot afford health care in this country. The idea that the collective medical debt is greater than the GDP of half the states in this country is insane. and meanwhile you've got a president who's fighting a war. So I'm just saying, hey, you did some dumb stuff. This would actually be a smart thing, and it seems like you like to put your name on things, so why don't you put your name on the program that could finally address the unmet promise of America once and for all?
