The Court ruled that the challengers did not have standing to sue, given that the penalty for not having health insurance at the center of the case had been reduced to zero, so it was not causing any actual harm that could be the basis for a lawsuit...

Senate Republicans unveiled their updated tax plan late Tuesday night. The plan includes repealing ObamaCare's individual mandate, which requires that most Americans buy health insurance or face a tax penalty... "It may help Republicans in the Senate give a larger tax break to the rich, but it hurts millions of Americans seeking affordable health insurance," Schumer said on Wednesday. "Any Republican senator who thinks they can pass the individual mandate and then turn around and get Murray-Alexander passed is dead wrong."
