I think the other states should sue the federal government for giving special privileges to Louisiana, Nebraska, and any other state that got special benefits in the healthcare plan. I had heard a few months back that three other states were getting the feds to pay for the state portion of the medicaid payments, and Nevada (Dirty Harry’s state) was one of them.
The federal government,namely the IRS, gave some privileges to members of one religious group(scientology) that other groups cannot get.
A Jewish couple took this all the way to SCOTUS who declined to review it. It is a pretty clear example of a violation of the Establishment clause..but no one will do anything about it.

I fully expect nothing to be done about Nelson’s Medicaid fiasco.
