I cannot imagine the GOP going along with Trump's long-standing (and recently re-stated) desire to provide universal healthcare at government expense, but I am prepared to be surprised.
It must also be kept in mind that Obama is a life-long supporter of "government financed universal care" and settled for the myriad problems built-into The Affordable Care Act because those degrading compromises were the only way to get around GOP obstructionists.
"Let's Just Say It: The Republicans Are The Problem," Conservative Scholar Norman Ornstein
To be clear, everything that sucks in The Affordable Care Act was included as a second, third or fourth "best" default in order to accommodate the free market profiteers on "the other side of the aisle."
Left to his own devices, Obama would have enacted a single-payer, government-financed system just like those Trump recommends in the following video: "Single-payer works in Canada; it works incredibly well in Scotland."
