If the mandate is overturned as unconstitutional will Massachusetts have to repeal it too?

what I do know is that my friends in Massachusetts HOPE it won't.
I have numerous friends who used to live here in Florida but who chose to return to MA full time specifically BECAUSE of the current health care there.
Florida's is abysmal, jfwiw.
f'rinstance, in the state with the largest elderly population, most insurance companies don't cover osteoporosis. go figure. in MA, by contrast, it's required.
In order for 0bozocare to be Constitutional, Congress would first have to pass an amendment and then be ratified by 3/4 of the states, dictating that the Federal govt. had authority to force citizens to purchase a particular product or service.
Thanks!
Ever notice how we are the only Nation to refer to our individual 'states' as..... states?
That's because the founders saw the United States of America to be many smaller governments that shared a common goal of protecting our borders and have only the amount of Federal guidelines necessary to achieve that.
They never envisioned what we have become.
It seems you're citizens of a state, rather than a country.
