Because of Roberts, will ObamaCare be the law for years to come? YES (good luck repealing it, dem's will forever filibuster any repeal attempt)


Since it is now construed as a tax, couldn't it be brought up under a budget bill immune from the filibuster?

Yes, that is one of the "silver linings" described in this blog piece:

Just 51 votes in the Senate can put Obamacare on hold for ten years.

I wonder if Roberts considered that.
