If the law is overturned, then healthcare will once again take center stage in congress. However, the chance of actually passing any meaningful legislation is not good. Republicans will resurrect their scale down healthcare proposals such as tort reform and health insurance across state lines. Democrats, unhappy with Obamacare will back a single payer plan once again. Insurance, drug companies, hospitals, medical associations, and trade groups will once again start their lobbying for other legislation favorable to their business. The same outrage we had in 2008 from the public about increasing healthcare costs, inability to get affordable insurance, and denial of claims will again put more pressure on congress who aren't going to want to do anything.
This I will disagree with. If overturned, I would be shocked if the words "health care" are said in concert having to do with any new meaningful legislation on Capitol hill until 2016 at the earliest.
