Ok$,$ I$\text{'}$m not saying I$\text{'}$m a Constitutional Scholar... BUT the SecDef recently decided that the patchwork of Abortion Laws around the country has placed DoD at a disadvantage in national recruiting and$/$or retention as a result of service members and families in the 'child$-$bearing years' being concerned about the availability of coverage depending on where they are based... as a result the DoD decided to expand medical coverage to service members and families by paying the expenses to obtain services in other states. Although this became controversial for a time and potentially expensive in both time and money, this looks like a workaround for a large employer... But what about small employers?

SO $-$ could a case be brought under the Dormant Commerce Clause based on state regulations$/$laws interfering with the national economy in terms of recruiting and retention or simply increased healthcare costs to mimic the DoD policy? Please explain the rationale that would both support and defeat this type of approach.
