US Medicare For All Bill as good as dead now?

Personally, I think blue states like New York or California should create universal healthcare at a local level and see how that goes. Force everybody in the state to pay a new high tax they can't opt out of, even those happy with their private option. Then lets wait and see how many people escape or vote red.

You can't do universal at a non-universal level.  Do you not understand what universal means? 

Being universal enables far greater price management.  If you remove that price management aspect, you remove the efficacy of such a system.  You can't trial universal in one state because the not all the beneficial mechanisms of universal would be there. 

Obviously I mean universal at a state level, its not a new concept I'm creating. I'm not even sure why we use the word universal, maybe it just sounds nice but it was the language used in Vermont when they were considering it.

Just raise taxes on everybody and businesses which would happen anyway. Also limit who can benefit from the healthcare system but can't contribute. Hence, don't allow people to come into the state just to sponge off the system.
