We'll find out in June.
The Armageddon-like assessments of the political reporters yesterday didn't stand up to later reading of the transcripts, either.
The insurance companies will be in a meltdown panic if the entire ACA is struck down as half of it is already in place now - they will go out of business - and they know it (see Robt. Reich's column the other day). They need the mandate for financial success, and the conservative judges saving them from the consumer protections won't help.
The other option is single payer which makes them virtually extinct.
