You are correct about the Supreme Court ruling which could come down next spring. Depending on how they rule, all states such as Florida, Georgia, and Texas (BTW the three states with the highest number of uninsured) will lose their federal subsidies because they never set up their own exchanges.
It seems that residents of those states will be penalized because their governors refused to set up exchanges, while states which set up their exchanges will continue to have subsidized health care.
