Most of these mandates deal with protection of the insured

With protections that typically are not worth their overall costs.

or promote prevention, the lack of which costs states a bundle in other ways

Most of them do little to help with prevention. Also prevention typically adds to costs. The extra costs are sometimes worth paying because of better health results, but they aren't always worth paying, and even when they are they are still extra costs.

Try to be informed rather than insulting.

Well, that's typical. Most of you guys repeat talking points but when pressed you become defensive or dismissive and always exaggerate your complaint.

I understand it is easy to be dismissive of things that cause cognitive dissonence. Unfortunately for you I am very well read on the issue.
