After SPIN! - What will happen if Obamacare is ruled unconstitutional?

After SPIN! "Question to Erica Palmer-Smith and Rick Henderson – In December a federal court ruled that the Obamacare provision that required individuals to purchase health insurance was unconstitutional. Many now question whether this fundamental pillar of the Affordable Care Act renders the whole act worthless. More than 500,000 North Carolina residents utilize the healthcare exchanges created by Obamacare and the number of uninsured has decreased by 30 percent (still at 13%). If the Supreme Court rules Obamacare unconstitutional what will happen? Can we expect more Medicaid applications? How about emergency room visits?"
