I'll stick with my original guess, based upon what the lawyers, scholars and even conservative lower court judges said about it's unquestioned constitutionality when the case first went to the Supremes: 5 to 4 upheld as Constitutional.
At worse, best guesses seem to be only the mandate overturned - which wouldn't be a bad thing, because then we can press immediately for Medicare/single payer for every American. If they overthrew the whole thing, millions of Americans will suddenly be uninsured, in the middle of their cancer treatments, etc. None of the legal eagles seem to think they will just throw it out as not yet suitable for review, as the mandate hasn't yet kicked in. Although Scalia wrote a really, really weird dissenting opinion about one of their other rulings today, stepping clearly into politics.
