SCOTUS Upholds State Health Care Subsidies (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

A major victory today for President Obama and supporters for the Affordable Care Act. In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court rejected a lawsuit that would have barred millions of Americans from receiving tax credits to help them pay for health insurance. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority decision, stating, “Congress passed the Affordable Care Act to improve health insurance markets, not to destroy them.” In his dissent, Justice Scalia said, “We should start calling the law SCOTUS Care.” This hour, On Point: the Supreme Court upholds Obamacare subsidies.
