I would imagine some of it supports health infrastructure like hospitals in low trafficed areas.
Also, a region can create their own public option to compete against ANHC. It is one of the many options that are available under Section 1, Clause 3 of the Reforming Public Health ACt.
Is that public option the default? Because I doubt the regions actively created their own public options?
The issue here is that we have to imagine. I don't think anyone knows what exactly is happening with this. For example, the South spends over $100 billion on the "healthcare" section. God knows what that consists of. It can't all be medical infrastructure. I think we could seriously look at eliminating the entire regional healthcare system.
Or reappropriate the money to better uses within or outside or healthcare.
I am leary of eliminating a regional level of anything, healthcare or not. 
But yes, a lot of that wasted money should be used to take advantage of their increased range of options or put to uses in education, transportation the like.
Why not? If there's a well-functioning national alternative there's no reason to muck everything up with additional layers of bureaucracy and regulation.
