BREAKING: Supreme Court Says OBAMACARE STANDS! 6-3
2012-06-28
WASHINGTON--A divided Supreme Court largely upheld the constitutionality of the Obama administration's health-care law, in one of the most anticipated high-court rulings in a generation.

It upheld the mandate as a tax, in an opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts. The justices also found fault with part of the health-care law's expansion of Medicaid, a joint federal-state insurance program for the poor. The justices made some changes to the Medicaid portion of the law.

The court said Congress was acting within its powers under the Constitution when it required most Americans to carry health insurance or pay a penalty--the provision at the center of the two-year legal battle.
Update: Sorry, it was indeed 5-4, as Nimble Spemble wrote.
