After a month on the job, Donald Trump is finally starting to grasp some of the basic facts of American politics.

He's finally figured out, for example, that healthcare policy is really, really complicated.

"Now, I have to tell you, it's an unbelievably complex subject. Nobody knew that healthcare could be so complicated... tax cutting has never been that easy, but it's a tiny, little ant compared to what we're talking about with Obamacare."

Actually, everybody knew healthcare was this complicated, which is why they warned Trump not to repeal Obamacare.

But it doesn't have to be this way.

There actually is a way to streamline this whole process - and make the American healthcare as simple as pie.

It's called single-payer healthcare - and all Trump would need to do to make it a reality here in the US as it is in developed nations like Canada would be take that Medicare program he likes so much and drop its eligibility age down to zero.

So what's he waiting for?
