No a health care mandate with government hospitals and care is constitutional.
That's completely, 100% nationalized healthcare. Government-employed doctors, government run hospitals.

Mixing MANDATE and PRIVATE is where the problem lays. Not constitutional.
The Supremes have already said other mixes of public and private, Social Security and Medicare, are constitutional. And the founders thought it constitutional, too (the articles I posted)

Since I'm a very anti government-run anything much less healthcare this plan is something I'd throw in the garbage and say I'm happy with what I have.
The plan doesn't make you change what you have. Your costs will go down, however. So be really angry about that. The plan gets the uninsured insured. The plan has already gotten many students and young people insured, and lowered prescription drug costs for seniors.
