Chief Justice John Roberts voted with the liberal wing of the court and upheld Obamacare. The ruling stated that the mandate was a tax and as such the congress has the right to levy it. This opinion gives congress the ability to force the American people to do anything or buy anything they wish so long as they put a financial penalty in place for people who do not comply with their wishes. It strikes down the penalties on state medicare payments who do not meet the federal rules Obamacare put in place. This decision has changed the definition of liberty in America and removed the chains that kept the government in check. If there is any good that comes from this decision it is the tidal wave of victories that are coming in November, Obamacare was singlehandedly responsible for the historic wave of victories for Republicans in 2010.
