I'm not a lawyer, I'm just telling you that they already operate in multiple states. Whether that gives congress the right to regulate it is a matter for the courts to decide, but in my opinion selling a product in multiple states means interstate commerce.
Again, they operate in multiple states as an umbrella, but the products are state-exclusive. I used to work for Anthem Blue Cross of KY. Guess what, there's one for Indiana, and so on.... They are regulated as such.
