Not that this is a big surprise, but:
"The Supreme Court ruled Monday that Congress cheated health insurance companies by reneging on a $12 billion promise made under the Affordable Care Act."
This was never seriously in doubt, as the plain letter of the law mandated that it be so. Much like the constitutional issues surrounding themandate/penalty/tax fine, there has always been a simple remedy, the courage to undertake it notwithstanding.
Even Justice Sonia Sotomayor, hardly a right-wing shill, opined that this was "a principle as old as the nation itself: The Government should honor its obligations."
Seems pretty clear-cut to me.
