All social programs

Oh wait...

The last four are all local, down to the county or municipal level, and the first one used to be.

...and theyre still social programs

Also public education

Why is it we are cool with cops and firemen being locally funded, and complain when DC meddles with our schools, yet we demand a federal takeover of healthcare?


The main reason is simply that Medicare, which is the largest payer of healthcare, is already a federal program, so federal is where we're starting from.

Another very important reason is that things like patent policy, antitrust policy, and drug safety are also at the federal level, and these are some of the major drivers of our healthcare system
