The constitutional right to basic living necessities; food, water, shelter, and medical treatment. Capitalism would still be there, but anyone could fall back on these "minimums" whenever they wanted ... no questions asked.

Is that "left of leftist"?

"Left-Right" isn't really a cohesive model of politics, but it's a hard sell for any form of capitalism to be considered left of socialist economics. Like PugJesus said, you've generally described modern social democracy (not to be confused with democratic socialism). It's an improvement, but still a long way away from 'left of left'.
