While to a great degree the federal government’s mandate contributes to the health care provider shortages in NY and elsewhere, it is not the Federal government’s responsibility nor within the Feds purview to control healthcare in individual states. There is a 10th amendment for a reason, but then this is one amendment among many that the politicians have chosen to ignore. Few state governors have the courage to tell the Feds to go pound sand! Abbott and DeSantis notwithstanding.

Unfortunate in spades. It is generally accepted that the people would rise up against them based on potential financial Fed pushback should they attempt to tell the Feds to pound sand.
