That question should be pretty darn easy -- self-evident even!
[Amendment X]Since the Constitution does not delegate to the US (i.e. Congress) any powers regarding requiring citizens to buy health insurance, nor does it prohibit the states from legislating in these areas, then the right to exempt citizens from such unauthorized legislation by Congress is CLEARLY reserved to the states or to the people.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Even if the individual mandate could be overturned, that doesn't get to the most destructive aspect of Obamacare -- the dismantling of the private health insurance market.
While nobody should be forced to purchase health insurance, not many people can pay for medical expenses out of pocket. The vast majority of us -- like me -- *need* health insurance.
The biggest problem with Obamacare is that it mandates the type of policies that are acceptable. That means one-size-fits-all policies that are going to be more expensive, e.g., no more cheap catastrophic plans for young, healthy people.
So even if my State of Virginia succeeds in shielding me from the individual mandate, I will still need to purchase health insurance, and the private insurance market is going to be offering very few -- and very expensive -- options.
The *entire* Obamacare law must be overturned.
