… 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"....
