Would you rather have 50 insurance companies with different pay structures or 1? Which would you think is less or more complicated? Medicare will become less efficient run via the states.
How would Medicare run via the states work if you are outside the state border (such as grandma visiting the kids on christmas and she got in a car accident.)
---------------------------------
On social security it is less of an efficiency issue but more on a trust and security issue. You could do one or two things with social security
1) Federal government collects the money and the state spends it. If this is done the process will become more politicized and more risk prone.
2) State government collect the money and the state spends it. If this is implemented there will be more confusion on what your benefits are and how much money is being taken out of your paycheck. Furthermore what would happen if you move from 1 state to another?

Believing the states can't do it, is not the same as saying the states will be less efficent or more *NM*

It may still be a better option though, but I wouldn't consider it a likely great success story

If programs to ensure federal citizen rights were divided among the states it would invite disparity

Some issues are exclusively local and best handled there, as are some resources.

Depends on the state and its legislators, doesn't it? But, generally, no. *NM*
