As you can imagine, everyone has an opinion on this, including me. I’ve already written two pieces, and when they are posted, I will link to them. As an aside, my concerns from my pre-decision two cents remain unchanged.
On the whole, the court went the way I’ve long argued Congress should have in the first place. Make the mandate part of a tax, not a penalty. I’m a little more surprised by the Medicaid decision, but as I’ll explain soon, I think it will be hard for states to not comply.
Regardless, there is much work to do. I look forward to when we can focus on that.
