The Guardian is now reporting that the ACA has been upheld thanks to Chief Justice Roberts siding with the court liberals. Kennedy voted for repeal apparently.

Kennedy is reading the dissent and is arguing that the whole of the ACA is unconstitutional.

Roberts opinion holds that individual states may refuse Medicaid expansion funds.

"Nothing in our opinion precludes Congress from offering funds under the ACA to expand the availability of health care, and requiring that states accepting such funds comply with the conditions on their use. What Congress is not free to do is to penalize States that choose not to participate in that new program by taking away their existing Medicaid funding."

The Medicaid expansion would have offered health insurance coverage to 16 million people. Now states apparently can make up their own minds whether or not to accept the expansion – and that means if Florida, Texas and other big states knock it back, then there will be millions of Americans who will miss out on the healthcare reforms.

The only good news for Romney is that he can campaign against the mandate acting as a tax.
