The individual mandate boils down to this. Congress is claiming the authority to force individuals not engaged in economic activity to become engaged. In its defense to the myriad law suits challenging this authority, the government is using Gonzalez vs. Raich to assert that “Congress’ commerce authority includes the power to regulate those activities... that substantially affect interstate commerce.” However, the Raich decision does not authorize Congress to regulate non-activity. That's where the legal battle will be. And if any part of the health care bill is deemed unconstitutional, the whole bill is unconstitutional.
