At the time the constitution was written, insurance did not meet the definition of Commerce. That definition was changed by SCOTUS in Wickard v. Bullard, and the Congress passed a law changing the definition back, so that states could continue to regulate insurance companies.
Education and health care are also outside the definition of Commerce. Congress was also given no powers to regulate agriculture. After passage of the 2nd Amendment, any authority to tax weapons was removed, though the power to regulate promotion, not restriction, of weapons was retained by Congress.
