I think you will find that many (most?) Constitutional scholars do not agree with the above.

At the most basic level, the mandate would be enforced through tax laws which is clearly within Congress’s power to tax.

The "unconstitutional" and "states rights" arguments make for interesting political theater, but lack legal merit.

Oh..and I dont feel bullied at all...perhaps just a bit annoyed with the endless rhetoric and fear mongering from the opposition, much of it not based on facts.
