The answer to lowering health care is certainly not in going to a state by state list of covered services. You did not link to the article you reference, so I cannot see if you have actually explained what the original writer suggested. The most efficient health care insurance in the US is Medicare, which is Federally run with a single list of covered services uniform for the entire country. Why would someone, knowing that, suggest we go in the exact opposite direction and incentivize states to cut costs and pocket the dollars? I can just see the race to the bottom that would bring.
