I believe it's called the "Implied Powers" of the federal government. Congress has the right to pass laws to regulate just about anything Congress wants to nationwide.
Healthcare is seen as a national problem, not just a state problem... ergo Congress has the right to enact health care reform legislation.
I don't know if the current bills are really worth the paper they're written on or not, but it is legal and Consitutional. At least for the most part... I don't believe that part about being required to purchase health insurance or go to jail has a chance of standing against a Supreme Court challenge though but that's just my opinion.
Whatever is in the current bills before Congress, don't forget that it's not a done-deal until the 2 House's bills get "merged" into a single bill which then has to be passed by both houses of Congress yet again... I hope and expect that alot of the stupid stuff will quietely go away when the bills get merged into 1 bill. Or it could get even worse, idk.
If there's some specific parts of these bills you think is just all wrong, then write to your Congressman (if your Congressman is a Democrat... cause everybody already knows how the Repbulicans are going to vote so there's no point in preaching to the choir there) and tell them what you don't like in the current bills and why you think it's wrong. Don't just say "The Constitution doesn't give you the right to create laws" cause they're just going to laugh at you about that one!

Texas, Hawaii, and Maryland currently have movements to secede from the union, sounds like a good idea to me.
