It seems like the entire nation was holding its breath for today’s Supreme Court ruling on health care. In a 5-4 decision, the Court upheld the individual insurance requirement at the heart of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. The ruling will have implications for doctors, patients, politicians, legal scholars and states — including California. After many months of intense speculation, we dig into the ruling.

Guests:

John Eastman, law professor and former dean at Chapman University School of Law. Founding director of the Center for Constitutional Rights.

Vikram Amar, professor of law and associate dean for academic affairs at U.C. Davis School of Law.

Anthony Wright, executive director at Health Access California.
