I find it interesting that the university where Judge Andrew Napolitano got his law degree is struggling in the courts to get out of Obamacare Democratcare. More specifically, Judge Napolitano had explained that the states have never delegated to Congress via the Constitution, particularly Section 8 of Article I, the specific power to regulate public healthcare.
Judge Napolitano & the Constitution

Note that regardless what activist justices want everybody to think about the constitutionality of Obamacare Democratcare, the Supreme Court has historically clarified that Congress is prohibited from regulating, taxing and spending for public healthcare purposes.

”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. (emphases added)” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

The Constitution doesn’t apply in a marxist tyranny.
