That is 100% correct and Roberts will still rule that Congress has to remove the law. He will hide behind keeping the court Neutral.



Reasoning will likely be either (1) the individual mandate still exists, it's just that the penalty was set to 0; or (2) The original ruling was on the constitutionality of the mandate and that hasn't changed - Congress simply amended the statute.

I'll be very surprised if it gets struck down. And at this point it'll be like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube (or for bammers, trying to unbreak an egg).

Spineless republicans had many opportunities over the last decade to repeal and replace, and didn't. Supreme Court takes that into consideration. No way they strike down the ACA at this point. There's nothing strike-downable.

Even worse, this just gives fuel to the fire that "Republicans will take your health care away" during an election year.
