Like building codes, auto insurance, food inspections, etc?

State or local as it should be. Read the 10th amendment.


And if you can't afford it, why should someone else be able to

third party to get it for you at their expense?

They already are. The hospitals force you to pay for the free
treatment they give to those who can't or won't pay. What's the
difference?

Non federal government. Read the 10th amendment.

If I get charged an 8.5% surcharge (even if the insurance company pays
it, I ultimately pay via my premiums), it is immaterial whether it is a
federal or local charge. It is money out my pocket.



It's very material unless you believe the Constitution is immaterial.
Again, read the 10th amendment.

It would be best for all those who wish the federal government to be
involved in all aspects of life to start a movement to repeal the 10th
rather than just ignoring it.
