Obama could be helped politically if healthcare law is overturned in SC.

1. Seems to me that health insurance is definitely interstate commerce

Surely employer-linked health insurance covers someone, and their families, in multiple states? For example, someone employed in Manhattan, but living, with their family, in New Jersey, still gets covered through an employer plan, don't they? Or does the employer have to work with separate plans in each state in which they have an employee?

And aren't there rules about coverage across state boundaries when someone travels? Unless those are "no coverage outside the state this is issued in", then it's interstate commerce.
