Tenth Amendment - U.S. Constitution Tenth Amendment - Reserved Powers  

 "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. "

Judge Andrew Napolitano correctly described my thoughts on this:

 

"The federal government should stay within the confines of the constitution. The constitution does not authorize the federal government to have anything whatsoever to do with healthcare. So, Obamacare should be abolished along with Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, but the people who are on those programs should be grandfathered in because they paid money to be in there and they've ordered their lives to stay there. The states should regulate healthcare because the states retain that power under the constitution.

So, if you want mandatory healthcare, go live in Massachusetts. If you want the free market and you want individual savings accounts, financial money savings accounts, go live in Texas. As Uncle Ronnie used to say, you can vote with your feet. When the government attempts to do what only the free market can do, when the government says everybody has got to drive a Mercedes whether you can afford one or not, whether you want to drive one or not, very few people will have cars and everybody will be walking to work."

 

"Don't abandon the notion that the Constitution means what it says."

So you and the judge say the Supreme Court got it wrong.

And your answer still doesn't answer the question of why it would be different if administered by the states or why it would be better.
