re: Can someone please explain the recent Obamacare ruling?

SCOTUS ruled that Obamacare was constitutional with the individual mandate attached because it was seen by the Roberts Court as a tax. The individual mandate was removed from the law by Congress within the last year. As a result, the federal judge in Texas ruled the entire law unconstitutional because the tax (individual mandate) was no longer part of the law.
This ruling will eventually have to be heard again by the Supreme Court.

Yes,
The original 2012 ruling conditioned the constitutionality of the ACA on it being a tax.
In 2017 Congress took away the tax.
Therefore, the condition the ACA's constitutionality depended on is now gone.

The mandate was not removed.
The penalty for not paying the mandate was reduced but the mandate still exists.
Even though no costs are being created, the tax still exists.
Just accept that obamacare will never go away and that the republicans are the major reason why.
