Honestly, I can't see why California is unable to roll out a single-payer plan. It's certainly larger than many of the countries that have one. In a single-party state, it should be a relatively straightforward thing to do.
My guess is that no one is serious about healthcare and that it's simply a get-out-the-vote scheme like abortion and gun rights.
"a difficult proposition to say the least in a country that guarantees freedom of movement"
Levels of benefits already differ considerably, no? If freedom of movement is a deal killer, than it seems to me that strict, highly enforced immigration laws would also be a precondition.
