I think that something will be done in order to keep it alive since the provision that will be decided over is pretty much the pillar of that plan as far as funding it is concerned.
What if the Supremes rule against Burwell, essentially eviscerating Ocare. In the aftermath, Congress passes a voucher type transfer program modeled more or less on the current subsidy model; poverty level definition and ceiling and subsidy amounts staying about the same. The money is just 'passed' to the recipients in some way, with the intent to be to enable the recipients to buy insurance on the open market.
Two years after the new 'transfer' program begins statistics show that only 63% of the original subsidy class actually buy insurance.
The only power he had was to sign what was able to make it to his desk. And like it or not, the ACA was it.
He had the power to do the bill as he said he would. He said it would be posted on the internet for all to read before anything was signed. He had the power to do that.
If the ACA is tossed out, the Pubs will get the blame. Because it's been their deepest desire to do just that for five years now.
Blame, or credit? GOP won the House in 2010 largely due to opposition to ACA, and the Senate in 2014, again largely due to opposition to ACA. Keep the 'blame' coming.

If the court rules for the plaintiffs, there'll be no need to encourage the finger-pointing.
But I kinda doubt that it's going to come to that.

"My plan begins by covering every American. If you already have health insurance, the only thing that will change for you under this plan is that the amount of money you will spend on premiums will be less," Obama said. "If you are one of 45 million Americans who don't have health insurance, you will after this plan becomes law."
Hows that working for ya gruber?
