Goods and Services in this case. The Wickard case involved goods. Which is what can be controlled through the commerce clause.

Insurance, medical treatments etc. have long been established as services. As such they do not fall under the commerce clause.

Goods and Services in this case.

Given the history of judicial overreach using the commerce clause, do you really think that they are going to be stopped by a little quibble over services?

The Court reversed itself on the commerce clause after Roosevelt threatened to pack the Court. They caved and quit overturning his New Deal schemes. The Court must yet again reverse these decisions and that's not going to happen until we throw the Democrats out of office and get the Court back under control.
