Attempts by states to exert any independent control over anything meaningful results in the federal government withholding funds. The open secret is that plenty of programs are managed at the state level, but heavily subsidized by federal coffers. The federal government lays down the law and if a state strays too far it will stop sending money.
Would it be legal for a federated State to implement a universal healthcare system (mostly public funded)? If not, then States should thrive for it, it's more or less like the death penalty, the tendency is to abolish until all States are done with it and no one talks about it anymore.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
