It's bare minimum. It's "not-right". You don't normally call someone leftist for just saying "people should have access to healthcare without going bankrupt".

If I said I was going to lose weight and started jogging would you criticize me for doing the bare minimum after my first day?

If you're still eating doughnuts on the way in this stretched metaphor, yeah, I'd say you're doing the bare minimum.

Your use of the bare minimum implies a one time action with no further potential changes.

How do you know that was the case?
