We owe to the Spending Clause, too, the relative cleanliness of our Nation’s air, see 42 U. S. C. §7401 et seq. (Clean Air Act), and the relative health of our Nation’s populace, 42 U. S. C. §1395 et seq.; §1396 et seq. (Medicare and Medicaid Acts). “Other examples, spanning virtually every domain of national and state policy, abound.” Talevski, 599 U. S., at 198 (THOMAS, J., dissenting).
