If you want to make people have insurance, and this particular method is struck down, methods that would still be constitutional (according to Supreme Court president, if not necessarily according to the constitution directly) would be

1 - Pressure the states in to passing individual mandates.

2 - Have the federal government directly provide the insurance.

Personally I don't want either to happen. I want a freer market for health care and health insurance, not a more controlled one, but I'm sure neither of those alternatives would be struck down by the supreme court (or if they where it would be because of something specific about their implementation, not because the court would consider the general idea unconstitutional).
