You cannot trust the states or the private sector to uphold the law. The Feds have throughout our history been the one force that has protected civil rights, and protected equal rights for women and blacks. A 100% free market system will not work properly due to selfishness, greed, racism, sexism and religion. You’ll always need government systems in place to protect the poor, and the working class. Actually a country as rich as we are should not have millions without health care, or homeless, or under educated. It only happens because some in our society are so hated that there is a concerted effort to deny them even one ounce of love and support. Fortunately, our country was founded on a premise of freedom and equality, so we have to live up to it best we can.
