If you believe government involvement in healthcare is unconstitutional, why are you worried about it? The Court will simply strike it down.

No, that unconstitutional stuff is just what you folks squeal whenever you lose the majority. Suddenly everything you don’t want is prohibited by some interpretation of the Constitution that even the Federalist Society thinks is nonsense.

Funny, last time I checked the US Constitution didn’t give folks the right to infringe on the state’s ability to regulate themselves either…which is exactly what those on the right advocate for when they “argue” for allowing insurance companies to compete across state lines. Federalism sucks, except when it benefits you, I guess.

No, I just think the “limits” you imagine in the Constitution don’t exist.

Sounds an awful lot like Dick Cheney there.
