I'm still turning it over in my head, but I think you have something here.
The Administration's lawyers will no doubt argue that a lot of what you've quoted here is dicta. However, from what I've seen, the Justices tend to have a much narrower view of what constitutes dicta than the average lawyer.
You know, even with "community rating" and "guaranteed issue", I don't see how anyone can get insurance without submitting to a medical exam or at least answering a questionnaire about private medical facts. Being compelled to do either clearly violates the right to privacy as defined by Griswold.

If the government can compel you to get health care or health insurance, they can compel you to get annual medical examinations..... including.... PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS....
Think about that one for a minute.
