Depends on the ruling:
If the Act is upheld in its entirety, health insurance costs will go up faster, with little possibility of better reforms.
If the Act is upheld without the mandate, health insurance costs will go up even faster, with even less possibility of better reforms.
The the Act is killed entirely, healthcare costs would continue increasing at current rates, but the likelihood of reform is greater... whether or not that reform will be good, who knows?
All of this assumes that the status quo remains in power after November. If there's a sizeable change in Congress, then better outcomes could be possible.
With that said, I'd rather the Act get killed in its entirety. If it just comes down to the mandate or not... I'd still rather the mandate go, even if it means higher costs, because it acts as a curb on Government power.

It's easy to stand up for ideals when you have the NHS and i have this weird feeling under my armpit that i'm scared to even have checked out because i could be booted off my family's health insurance as early as tomorrow.

Aren't you in college?

Just got out of college, so the only thing keeping me covered right now is the ACA. You know every insurance company in the country is waiting with the finger on the button to expel me and millions like me from the rolls of insured individuals as soon as the word comes in.
@ Samuel: yes. You can't go around saying what America should and shouldn't be doing when you have all your medical needs met by a system that actually cares about people and not profits.
