The health care industry clearly falls within the scope of interstate commerce and thus the commerce clause.
As for my own preferred reform, the double mandate, mandating insurers cover all is an example is a direct application of the commerce clause, while mandating all purchase coverage is an application of the necessary and proper clause., as would any Federal subsidies to enable the poor to afford the required coverage.
That said, I don't think this should not become an exclusively Federal issue, but it doesn't raise my Constitutional hackles for the Federal government to take a greater interest than it already does.
