Maybe. It would still be hard to try and get Republicans to go along with making all private insurers offer a basic, universal, non-profit, package, and have all states cover anyone and everyone who can't afford a private package. But, states might be able to make those kinds of rules for insurers within their own states, and not have to wait for the feds.
The foundation for a Canadian model is there. Their's is more like a Medicaid for all, with the federal government pitching in, but each province running their own. You could keep raising the max income level Medicaid covers. Individual states could also start this on their own, and not have to wait for the feds.
The foundation is also there to keep lowering the age of Medicare, but very hard to get enough federal lawmakers on board.
