Does anyone have any "fair" guesses as to how the Health Care debate will turn out? I am fairly confident the entire bill will NOT be tossed but what about the mandate which seems to be the main issue no?

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?
I guess, but it is kind of confusing.
Btw, here's a link to the audio of the Supreme Court hearings which I have not yet listened to because I just got it. Today, as I understand they determined IF the Supreme Court would hear the case and tomorrow they discuss the individual mandate.
