health insurance reform wiki
If government mandated health insurance is unconstitutional, why is it the law in Massachusetts?
…and why did court cases challenging the Massachusetts health insurance mandate get thrown out of court?

Some of you may not realize that the 14th Amendment assures that if it is unconstitutional for the federal government to do it, it would also be unconstitutional for the state to do it.
The 10th Amendment has no application, even under the interpretation that conservatives try to impose on the 10th Amendment.
Because thats state law, totally different than federal law
EDIT:
Actually you are wrong- The federal govt cannot pass a bill that favors 1 state or group of people. The state govt can do that, hence the bans on smoking indoors- bars restaruants in nyc, and bans on gay marriage. Its not unconstitutional for the state to impose those laws but it is for the federal govt to do so. Federal and state govt are 2 totally separate entities with separate sets of rules and ruling bodies
