"As somebody who has lived under both systems, I think Mr. Trump was right", says March. "Let us move to a Medicare-for-all system that does what every other major country does".
Upon hearing Trump's praise for Australia's universal health care system, Sanders laughed out loud during an interview with Chris Hayeson MSNBC.
It was smooth sailing for President Donald Trump and Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull aboard the USS Intrepid Thursday night in NY, months after a reportedly rocky start to their relationship.
"It's going to be fantastic health care", Trump said.
Opponents took the opportunity to relish over Trump's admittance that universal healthcare system is the right system, with Senator Bernie Sanders tweeting: "Thank you Mr Trump for admitting that universal healthcare is the better way to go".
Australia has a government-funded health-care system, called Medicare, that exists alongside private insurance.
Ms Huckabee Sanders said Mr Trump's remarks did not mean he thought the U.S. should adopt a similar system to Australia's.
"We had a great call", he said with a smile. "I'll be sure to quote you on the floor of the Senate", he wrote on Twitter.

Trump's press conference with Turnbull was also notable for an awkward moment when the United States president failed to notice the Australian PM attempting to shake his hand. "Again, he was complimenting the prime minister and we're focused on a healthcare plan that works here". In the clip, Trump simultaneously criticizes the American healthcare system and lauds Australia's.
"The two presidents are obviously very different men", the prime minister told reporters on Friday just before flying back to Australia.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House deputy press secretary, had suggested earlier on Friday that Trump was being "complimentary" of Turnbull.
"It's a very good bill right now", Trump said of the GOP plan to overhaul the United States healthcare system.
In the phone call, that occurred shortly after Trump took office, Trump blasted a U.S. -Australia agreement made under Barack Obama to accept refugees from Australia, the Washington Post reported.
Of course, the truth is, Trump doesn't really know what the American model is, how the Australian system works, or the benefits of either.
Trump is set to meet Turnbull on Thursday night here at the Intrepid Naval Museum, a retired US Navy vessel that is anchored on the Hudson River. Sanders said. "That's great". President Trump and his vice Mike Pence hosted lawmakers in the Rose Garden at the White House to mark the occasion.
