“Question: Would a “single payer” health insurance system be constitutional if passed by congress.”

No, unless they paid fair value for the trillions of dollars they would be seizing.

They can’t afford it.

Actually, yes. A government-run healthcare system WOULD be constitutional IF the government paid for it in NEW taxes ...

HOWEVER, the American public [as a majority] WOULD NOT go along with this and the weenies in Congress who voted for such a thing would be tossed out next time they were up for election.

THAT is why they came up with the mandate ...
