- Spooky23 4y agoThe problem is that states are like accidents of history and are fairly arbitrary. You need this with lots of stuff. “Vice” states are adjacent to more prudish states. Think New Hampshire, Delaware, Pennsylvania, South Carolina. In the case of healthcare, states tend to push costs to somewhere else. As in send the sick person to NYC.

That alone will add a fair amount of cost. Granted, not the total amount spent, but city states do have some advantages on things like this.
