my company also doesn't have monetary sovereignty yet they offer all employees healthcare
and I'm sure you'd agree employee healthcare isn't really anything like single payer universal healthcare. A state might technically be able to give healthcare to every resident, but it's still a pale imitation of national federal universal healthcare. And I'm not sure that state healthcare would lead to that true single payer universal healthcare.
Either healthcare in the state needs to still worry about other peoples private healthcare, somewhat defeating much of the benefits, or they give it to everyone, destroying the state financially. A lot of employers also have a lot of money in the bank, and profits, a state would require people actually paying money to the state to fund that healthcare, directly or through taxes, which is very unpopular. I just don't think state universal healthcare is a very good idea, and if it fails would delay true universal healthcare even further.
Ofc universal healthcare seems fairly unlikely in the nearterm future, and if we have a revolution it'll be a bit of a non-issue.
