to clarify I mean that repealing the law might help create a situation where more people are insured.
That is probably true. Get the government out of our lives. Restore the government to as small of a footprint as possible.

I was talking about under the federal constitution. If nothing in it says the state can't do X, then it can do X without violating the federal constitution. The states' own constitutions provide additional restrictions. Of course states can change their constitutions a lot easier than the federal constitution can be amended.
Yes states can change their Constitutions much easier than the feds can. The truth as I see it is that most of the restrictions found in the US Constitution against states' rights are made up by activist judges. The US COnstitution mostly says things that the federal government can do, and those are few. Congress has grabbed power never intended to vest at the federal level.
