Roberts has said, in so many words, Obamacare's soft underbelly is that it's a tax. Meaning Congress can have at it. It's a creature of Congress, they can unmake it in like kind.
Like Paul544 just said, 'Congress could, in theory, pass a tax code revision that says the penalty for not having insurance is $1.'

Big deal. Congress already could, in theory, repeal the law. The problem is that Roberts has said, in so many words, Congress can force us to do anything they want, so long as the penalty for non-compliance is a tax.
