I haven't read the decision, but I wonder where in the constitution the Supreme Court finds the federal power to impose such a tax.

Given that it was all but inevitable (politically) that this would be found constitutional, framing it as a tax is the best possible outcome, however constitutionally imperfect. We're spared the broccoli outcome, which would have vastly greater and more persistent impact.
