"Congress passed the Affordable Care Act to improve health insurance markets, not to destroy them," Roberts wrote in his opinion Thursday.

Last time Roberts stated that it was not the supreme court's job to rehabilitate the laws passed by congress.

That is exactly what he has done with this ruling. He is saying that it is not what the said, but what he thinks they meant that is counts.
