So do my older kids lose healthcare if this is overturned? [View all]

I have a son, 21, graduating from college this May and another son, 20, who took time off from college. Both are insured now under my husband and I, under Obama's healthcare plan, and will be insured until the age of 26 if they are not able to get jobs with health insurance. Will this or the preexisting condition changes be revoked if the SC overturns the case in front of them, or is it only mandates?
