TIS


TIS, the Constitution authorizes the Congress to regulate commerce among the states. The Court may base its decision on whether or not that authorization applies to state governments and/or state inhabitants. Since states apply their own laws and regulations to health care and since a case can be made that those laws and regulations affect health care in other states, there is a basis for applying the commerce clause. Does that help?
