Its a huge bureaucratic libsocialist mess much like Obamacare that is hard to understand or support. What could be easily understood, be easily implemented, and reduce prices 80% is putting everyone on Medicare, publish prices, and give everyone vouchers to buy health care that could be converted to cash if unspent at the end of the year.

As prices slowly dropped 80% the govt could reduce the vouchers accordingly until eventually most people could afford their own health care.

Regardless of what prices would drop 80%, or whether that would actually happen, what would be the details of your single-payer idea? Specifically, what would it cover and what tax structure would support it?

details are in OP. What don't you understand?
 
Not to be too pedantic - but is it really Trump's plan?

it would cover everything medically necessary and taxes would be about same except money companies spend on health insurance would go to feds to help pay for vouchers.
