Still very different. There is a very very good chance that medical pot will, and does, end up in interstate commerce. There is no chance that lack of health Ins will.

So? According to Scalia:

...the authority to enact laws necessary and proper for the regulation of interstate commerce is not limited to laws governing intrastate activities that substantially affect interstate commerce. Where necessary to make a regulation of interstate commerce effective, Congress may regulate even those intrastate activities that do not themselves substantially affect interstate commerce.

Scalia concurring in Raich

” Congress may regulate even those intrastate activities that do not themselves substantially affect interstate commerce.”

I don’t see how anyone can spin that into regulating non-activity, which would have to be done to apply to Obumblecare.
