US's Overton Window is extremely far away from this kind of social policies. If the US can't agree on the fundamental importance of a socialized healthcare service then more daring experimental social policies such as a livable basic income is too far out to even contemplate.
But it would be awesome if they did, though. Perhaps if they slapped a "Milton Friedman approves this" sticker on it.
