What I did not mention in the prior post was that although the individual mandate was upheld, one part of Obamacare was invalidated. Most everyone thought the mandate was the most constitutionally vulnerable part. This part of the Court's ruling was somewhat surprising.
" In another part of the decision and in a blow to the White House, a
different majority on the court struck down the provision of the law
that requires the states to dramatically expand the Medicaid health
insurance program for the poor." This appears to be a victory for federalism.The impact of this ruling is not immediately clear. Stay tuned!
