I don't think you understand the issues, because they are vastly different.
The issue of whether or not a mandate to purchase a product or service in the market from a private provider was not an issue in determining the constitutionality of s/s, because that was and is not the process. The issue of funding s/s was an issue, but found constitutional because it is a tax related to income [[as allowed by the 16th amdt).
Actually, there would be a constitutional argument in favor of a single payer national health care plan. But that is not what we have.
