If the US Supreme Court wants a case it can get that case for a variety of reasons that are generally used including one that applies in the ObamaCare case below: different federal court districts having different holdings.
If the US Supreme Court wants a case it can take the case quickly or very slowly by using various procedural 'reasons'. So, when will ObamaCare get to the US Supreme Court?
I going to guess that it will be next year because it could end a political issue before the 2012 election. I could be wrong and the US Supreme Court could time the case's deliberations in appeal until after the 2012.
Waiting until after the election would probably help TeaParty campaigners by formenting more emotional content that would increase the voters turning out to resolve the ObamaCare issue.

Fla. judge strikes down health overhaul
PENSACOLA, Fla. – A federal judge in Florida says the Obama administration's health overhaul is unconstitutional, siding with 26 states that had sued to block it.
U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson on Monday accepted without trial the states' argument that the new law violates people's rights by forcing them to buy health insurance by 2014 or face penalties.
Attorneys for the administration had argued that the states did not have standing to challenge the law and that the case should be dismissed.
The case is likely to go to the U.S. Supreme Court. Two other federal judges have upheld the insurance requirement, but a federal judge in Virginia also ruled the insurance requirement unconstitutional
