This is an important precedence(And I think pretty on-point for the healthcare discussion). But, that does not mean anything because this court has already shown that it is willing to throw out precedence when it wants. Take, for example, Citizens United.

Many courts in the past have overturned precedence that it didn't like. Although it is an overstatement, one could say that civil rights might have never happened with a strict adherence to bad precedence. Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857); Plessy v. Ferguson (1896)
