Today's 5-4 Supreme Court ruling on health care came down to Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. Here's some background on the man who played a critical role in upholding the Affordable Care Act.
Today, Justice Roberts joined Justices Ginsberg, Sotomayor, Breyer, and Kagan in upholding the Affordable Care Act and individual mandate for health care reform as constitutional. In his opinion, he essentially ruled that while Congress cannot force you to buy health insurance, they can tax you if you don't, making the individual mandate constitutional under Congress' taxing authority.
