States in the US have almost as much agency over the lives of their citizens as the average country does and that's by design. The only things states aren't personally concerned with are outlined in the Constitution like national defense, international diplomacy, and minting of a common currency to name a few. Everything else is by default a states' rights concern as per the 10th amendment.
