Look up the statistics for expected lifespans in places and among age groups that do and do not have government-funded medical care - there's plenty of data out there on the government websites (US Census, Statistics Canada, etc.). If you look at the actual numbers instead of what various political parties and special interest groups spin them to be, you'll see that people who have access to government-funded medical care consistently live longer on average than people who do not.
The US Constitution guarantees the right to Life (and Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness), so something that provides life to more people is something that is constitutional.
Obamacare, in its role as government-funded medical care, is statistically likely to be something that provides life to more people than the alternative would.
Thus, repealing Obamacare can be argued to be unconstitutional.

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
