… the majority decision threw out the challenge to the law on the grounds that Texas and other objecting GOP-dominated states were not required to pay anything under the mandate provision and thus had no standing to bring the challenge to court.

The Affordable Care Act survives the 7-2 ruling by the Supreme Court.

Without getting into the weeds of whether the ACA is a good idea, my understanding of the legalities of it is that it was upheld when Chief Justice Roberts' decision was that the individual mandate was a "tax."

Later, when the individual mandate was removed, the law stood.

I don't understand.

Type real slowly so I get it.

Aside: so many cases are getting tossed because of "lack of standing"....

I think this court would like for the legislative process to decide issues, as compared to some previous courts.

Which is as it should be.
