Just getting this one started. I may not even find out what the ruling was, but rather just check back in this thread and determine the ruling based on who's posting.

Ruling Likely to Prompt Re-evaluation of Roberts
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. surprised many on Thursday by providing the crucial fifth vote for upholding President Obama's health care law. To those on the left who viewed him as an ideologue eager to pull the court rightward in a political fashion, this will now begin a re-examination of his style and legacy as it will for those on the right who considered the law uncons utional and relied on him to make that point.
Many scholars have said that Chief Justice Roberts sought to balance his own conservatism with his desire to build faith in the law and the nation's legal ins utions. But it was still striking to hear Mr. Roberts, who arrived on the court in 2005 appointed by George W. Bush, announce the upholding of the central legislative pillar of the Obama administration. He did arrive on the bench asserting the desire to restore the court's reputation and reduce partisan rhetoric. But he was seen by many, at least on the left, as a right-winger more devoted to conservative politics than the purity of the law. That could change.
"This could be a huge day in the evolution of Chief Justice Roberts as a great chief justice,"
Chief Justice Roberts used the Obama administration's backup argument about what makes the health care law cons utional.

Under President Obama:
People 1
Insurance Companies 0
LOL.
...............after the insurance companies were undefeated for about 40 years.
Great effffing day.
You do realize that the law that just got upheld forces "people" to do business with "insurance companies", don't you?
If you're an insurance company.......
Insurance companies and BigPharma will really rake it in now.
The effort now is to fix ACA where the vested interests broke it.
But the Repug effort will be to try to repeal it, or at least defund it.
If Gecko gets in and both Houses go Repug, it will be repealed (they VOW it will be).
what? I'm stocking up on Ins Co stocks right now, tbh... govt mandated purchase of their product? not even oilcos have it that good
LOL, as Maher says, this bill is just a blowjob to the insurance industry. What a piece of .
Hey, at least Roberts has made him own the largest tax hike in the history of the world.
Obama: Mandate is Not a Tax
SCOTUS calls bull .

You sound kind of mad, Yoni. Please elaborate.
I just find it kind of ironic the only way Obamacare survives is for the SCOTUS to call the individual mandate something the administration and Democrats insisted it wasn't, a tax.
Show us the numbers and compare it to the second largest tax increase.
Then why did stocks drop dramatically for big insurance companies today you re s. Why did insurance companies fight this bill with everything they had. Because they liked it.......lol.
.........and the only reason the mandate was in there was because the GOP and ins companies wanted it in there.
So you meant it was the largest tax increase in history when measured in Irony?
Hot rhetoric eliminates any need for empirical support.
By the way scott: well played on the thread.
Thanks. Spent my hiatus working on it.
So your position is that the insurance companies faught a bill that gave them exactly what they wanted, with everything they had. That makes sense.
As a representative of the insurance industry:
