Healthcare is a State Issue in the USA

If you thought that state level politicians were completely corrupt and ruthless, and did not care about the people at all, and 50% of healthcare spending came from the federal Government (and it does), you might expect the state politicians to regulate in a way that would increase the income of the health workers in their states.

Now I do not think state level politicians were very corrupt and ruthless, but it is interesting that they seem to regulate healthcare in a way looks like was designed to exactly that.
