I have a recollection from when I worked at the Institute for Policy Studies in 1988, that Robert Borosage did have such a strategy, and for awhile (about this time into the 1988 primaries) there was a sense it could be accomplished by Jesse Jackson. As is the case now, the central question posed - e.g. by another Jackson advisor, Vicente Navarro - was whether single-payer health insurance was the sort of issue that would break the oligarchs' and neoliberals' hold.
I'm sure in places like /Monthly Review /you could find this argument from 1988.
