US Supreme Court Upholds Affordable Health Care Act

[Quark]

I think the real surprise in all of this is that Roberts was the deciding vote instead of Kennedy (the one that always seems to break the ties). Outside of those two, I'm not surprised on how everyone else made their decisions.

So people reading the Dissent have said it sounds like it was written from a majority perspective. Add that with the pure strength of the opinion ("the entire act is unconstitutional"), there's speculation that Roberts was originally against but flipped due to the arguments others against were presenting.

Edit:

The part found unconstitutional was the ability of the Feds to cut the Medicaid funding of the States.

Existing funding, specifically. New funding presented as part of the Act can still be cut.
