What I was trying to say is that only die-hards still care about the legitimate functions of the federal government vs the states. Raising the question is futile.

Bull crap! States wrestle with the Federal government over jurisdiction all the time! Have you not seen the disgust of a local cop toward the FBI? Not futile either. Not as long as we have a slight majority of conservatives and moderates in the Supreme Court! Most of the nationalization was allowed because no industry wanted it. Medicaid is a prime example. Insurance companies did not want to cover seniors for reasonable prices for example. The Tennesse Power company was only too happy to become part of TVA. Private citizens may not have much standing so I think it would take a corporation or group of corporations to stop nationalization of our health care.
