Supreme Court Justices Seem Unlikely To Strike Down Obamacare

The video discusses a legal case challenging President Obama's health care law, focusing on the individual mandate requiring Americans to have health insurance or face a penalty. In 2017, Congress reduced this penalty to zero, which Republicans claimed was intended to dismantle the law. However, Chief Justice John Roberts questioned this reasoning, suggesting Congress did not intend to repeal the entire act since they only reduced the penalty and did not attempt to repeal the rest of the law.
