The Supreme Court Justices have not struck down a major piece of legislation, let alone a president's signature initiative, as beyond Congress's power to regulate commerce in some 75 years. Walter Dellinger, a leading scholar and the acting solicitor general under President Clinton, foresees an 8-1 vote, with only arch-conservative Justice Clarence Thomas voting to strike down the new law. Tom Goldstein, another leading Supreme Court litigator, foresees a vote of at least 7-2.If it helps you sleep at night to believe that, feel free to.
Lol...I was thinking the same thing about your position.
Will the Supreme Court Strike Down Healthcare Reform?

Some argue that government can't mandate that citizens buy insurance. Both Hawaii and Massachusetts have mandated healthcare insurance. Every state now mandates liability auto insurance. Local government mandates we pay school taxes even though we have no kids in school. Government requires citizens pay for a lot of things that they see no possible benefit.

I can't really answer to Mass. and Hawaii, but as to liability auto...I can choose not to drive, and school taxes is...you guessed it...a tax, not a mandated expenditure to a private company levied solely on the basis of being alive.
I'll do some research on Mass's mandate and get back to you.
