Therefore, the whole law will not be overturned if the SC decides to do so, just the purchase mandate portion. I'm willing to bet they let it stand. The mandate is a boon for the insurance companies, and I strongly suspect that some of those corporatist types, like Scalia and Roberts, will look out for the interests of their buddies in the insurance cartels.
