It's certainly nice that in our healthcare predicament that we can at least point to other countries and ask "what are they doing that causes them to have better healthcare outcomes and cost 1-/3 to 1/9th the price--as is the case with countries like Germany and Japan."
Another example is marijuana legalization, which seriously benefits people with certain diseases and psychosis. Further, it has shown in Colorado to reduce crime and increase tax revenue. It would have been significantly delayed if the federal government imposed authority of federal law in this case.
So there is a pretty compelling argument to be made that some issues seriously benefit from not being under one bureaucracy.
