This is a total red herring and comes from a Trump quote which he back tracked on the next day.
What Trump said was that in a trade deal negotiation everything would be on the table including the NHS and some Remainer newspapers mischievously tried to use in anti-Brexit propaganda. I hope you are not trying to do the same.
We already have in the UK companies that provide heath services through medical insurance which is the way the US medical service is run. Some of our UK providers also offer their services to the NHS for a fee and are used by the NHS either to cut costs or supplement an overstretched NHS. In addition and for the same reasons the NHS uses the health services in other EU countries - most recently NHS patients have been treated in French hospitals. What Trump was suggesting was that US health providers could be allowed into the UK in the same way.
You have no need to fear the privation of the NHS as no government would dare try. Just look at the short change May got over her suggestion at the last election for funding dementia in old age - a suggestion that almost certainly cost her her majority.
