How the States can Kill National Healthcare.

Since current Federal Laws prohibit the sales of healthcare outside of the 50 states under Federal Law, shouldn't this law mean that the Federal Government has prohibited itself from regulating health insurance in any way since the Constitution only permits the Federal Government from regulating interstate commerce and not intrastate commerce under the Commerce Clause?  In other words, by banning interstate commerce of health insurance, constitutionally, the Federal Government should also be banned from regulating it.

This could give the States the opportunity to create legislation in direct conflict with the new legislation of Healthcare and bring this battle to the courts and, hopefully, overturn Wickard v. Filburn and other Tyrannical and illegitimate court rulings that use the Commerce Clause to expand Federal power. 

I believe Florida's attorney general will be filing an appeal on those grounds if this passes. If only this asshole did the same when that Real ID went into effect here.

How can he file an appeal if it hasn't been brought to civil court in the first place?  You mean "file suit", right?  I'm hoping that he's not alone and that maybe the states who are outraged over this will pool their resources and fight back against this monster as a coordinated effort.
