"ObamaCare" stands, but the battle over the law is far from over.

In its 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the so-called individual mandate could be upheld only because it fell within Congress' authority to tax. However, that is not how the Obama administration originally sold it.

Now that the high court says it is a tax, Republicans say the law will be more unpopular.
