Editorial: Upheld health care law a blessing for the U.S.

Editorial: Upheld health care law a blessing for the U.S.  Anyone who listened to or read the rebuttal by the Solicitor General, especially the last 60 seconds, should have expected a taxing power decision.  I am disappointed that Kennedy and Alito did not join Roberts, the the outcome should never have been in doubt.  The next step is the stock market pricing in the price of health insurers.  I don't think they have priced in reform.  When they do, they will find the mandate not adequate once pre-existing condition reform is effective - but they will price it now, not waiting for 2014.  Expect the insurers to demand a subsidized public option and the GOP to cave on the additional funding required.
