US Supreme Court uploads Obama's affordable care act

On Thursday , the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the controversial health care law championed by President Barack Obama in a landmark decision that will impact the November election, as well as the lives of most Americans. In a 5-4 ruling, the high court decided the individual mandate requiring people to have health insurance is valid as a tax, even though it is impermissible under the Constitution's commerce clause.
The decision is expected to have an immediate and long-term impact on all Americans in how they get access to medicine and health care, and allows the government to continue implementing the health care law, which doesn't take full effect until 2014. The decision was seen as a victory for Obama but also will serve as a rallying issue for Republicans calling for repeal of the Affordable Care Act .
