I would suppose the first challenge would be the Constitutionality of requiring Citizens to purchase a service violates the Commerce Clause

There is existing precedence from a 1950's case (that I cannot recall the name of right) now where the US Supreme Court held that a citizen may not be compelled by the government to enter into a private contract (e.g. enter into a contract with a Health Insurance company). That jibes with the commercial code as I understand it (IANAL) and the Supremes are really big on Stare Decisis so I'll wager that requirement gets tossed pretty quickly.

However, my big fear is that they understand this and have planned for it and will then use that as an excuse to set up single payer government system that we can be forced to deal with.

Yes, we must not lose sight of their Endgame.
