apples and oranges. the withholding of funds is considered a constitutional power, yes. That has absolutely zero to do with congress mandating health insurance. The STATES mandate it in order to receive the funding. Now, if congress wants to go that route with health care, then THAT would be considered constitutional, but I imagine that 80% of the states would then find themselves facing lawsuits testing their own constitutional power.
