That's a minimum though, some States will offer just the minimum, others will offer much more
I think the argument is there's a baseline that should not be up for debate. But some states should be able to offer different beyond the baseline. For example, presume that the federal government lacks the will to provide universal health care, it still should be quite reasonable for states to provide it, should they feel they have the ability and the will.
And then it comes back to what I said, unless States cease to exist and everything is administered at what is currently the federal level, rights will vary based on geographical location. I'm just pointing out that the language used doesn't work based on that.
