The various attorneys general are filing on the basis of the procedures in the House to pass the bill. That is ultimately going ot fail because the Constitution states that the Congress shall make up its own rules of conduct.
They are also going forward with the argument that requiring someone to purchase anything is unconstitutional. This argument may get a bit more traction and it will be interesting to see how that is played out. What will most likely happen, however, is that it will slowly grind through the courts before getting to the SCOTUS. At that point, the system whill have been in play for quite a few years and then if the law is overturned, Congress wil probably take up ways to rescue the law.
I predict that this will happen no matter which party has the majority, since there are aspects of the law which are or will be very popular when they are rolled out. Other parts probably not so much, but there won't be a wholesale overturning, more than likely due to the way the system works.
