From the opinion authorship, health care is almost certainly being written by CJ Roberts, perhaps in part with Justice Kennedy. That’s a good sign...

Maybe, maybe not. Roberts sided with the libs to strike down the AZ law and that was with the Kagan recusal.

Actually it's my understanding that CJ Roberts joining the majority on Arizona was more tactical than a reflection of his actual views. If he would have joined Alito, Thomas, and Scalia. The court would have split 4-4 (Kagan recused) and the 9th circuit ruling striking down ALL of the Arizona law would have stood. So in joining with the majority he got Arizona 1/4 of a loaf, which I suppose is better than nothing.
