Though more unlikely, the justices also could give themselves more time to make a decision next week, further adding to the uncertainty of when the ruling will arrive.

Last Friday was the deadline for justices to hand in dissents; the person writing the majority opinion has the option to respond to any criticism of the ruling in his own opinion.

Cameras have been surrounding the Supreme Court in anticipation of the momentous health care decision. And everyone in the health care business, including brokers, are glued to the radio, says Danielle Kunkle, a Medicare adviser at Boomer Benefits in Fort Worth, Texas.

“This decision and its ramifications will have such an enormous impact on our livelihoods—our very ability to support our families—that we can't help but be anxious for the decision,” she says. “We know also that if the ruling lets PPACA stand, health care and the way we access it will forever change, and that affects us as health care consumers ourselves, not just as insurance agents.”

Though Kunkle says most brokers aren't expecting the law or the mandate to be overturned, “there will be a whole lot of people crossing their fingers and sending up prayers this weekend.”
