The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the centerpiece of the nation’s new health care law — the individual mandate to buy insurance — as a constitutional exercise of Congress’ taxing authority. Led by veteran reporters Tony Mauro and Marcia Coyle, The National Law Journal wraps up its coverage of the week’s historic events with analysis of what the landmark decision will mean not only for the Court but for health care practitioners as well. Plus, a collection of memorable moments from the term and commentaries from top lawyers on both sides of the health care debate.
