Just as the federal minimum wage is a floor that states can exceed, the ACA is a federal floor for health care that states can exceed.
States can build on the existing ACA law to create quality universal health care systems in their state, similar to the Swiss or Dutch.
A federal progressive trifecta with an FDR/LBJ-size supermajority that could pass Medicare-for-All hasn't been elected since 1964. States can build universal systems on top of the ACA today.
