Kind of like so many companies being registered in Delaware. So how come Delaware get to dictate rules to the other 49 states.
Congress is not lacking the will to provide universal heallthcare, they are lacking the intelligence.
John not onlt Romneycare goes but also the mandate that hospitals must care for the indigent. Not that I really expect Roberts and Co. to have the wit nor wisdom to realize that.

As Rob has mentioned; The federal government can force hospitals, nationwide, to provide services to people who have no intention of paying. No one questions the "constitutionality" of that......But, they can't make people go out and get their own insurance?
