A comprehensive federal health-care reform statute created a Federal Health Policy Board, which was directed to monitor the fees charged for various medical procedures covered by insurance. The board also had the power to subpoena records to determine whether fee increases were a true reflection of cost increases. Nothing in the statute provided for caps on fee increases. Because of the continuing escalation of health-care costs while the statute was being debated, several states had passed health-care legislation on their own. One state passed legislation that prohibited most fee increases of 10% or more per year for specified health-care services covered by insurance, and created a health-care review board to regulate these costs and impose monetary penalties on health-care providers or insurers that tried to circumvent the cap. Which of the following would be the best basis for finding the state provision unconstitutional?A The federal legislation was passed after the state legislation and therefore supersedes it. B The Federal Health Policy Board was constituted with many of the same powers as the state board but was not given the power to impose sanctions. C The state provision impairs existing contracts between health-care providers and insurers in violation of the Contract Clause. D Health-care fee caps create an undue burden on interstate commerce even in the absence of federal regulation.
