title: In the balance: With the drama of Supreme Court arguments over, providers are left to worry what will happen if the individual mandate is struck down.
abstract: After last week's U.S. Supreme Court arguments on the landmark healthcare reform case, providers are left to wait and wonder what will happen. "If I were a betting person ... I would come away and think they would throw out the mandate," says William Petasnick, of Froedtert Health. "But I think there is some case law and precedent that might move them in a different way because of the consequences."
