Health Care Reform

President Barack Obama says the Supreme Court's decision to uphold his health care overhaul is a "victory for people all over the country" and will make their lives more secure.

The U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding President Barack Obama's health care overhaul is expected to help Vermont's more ambitious plan for universal, publicly funded health care.

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley says he is "deeply disappointed" with the U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding much of the federal health care legislation.

Stocks dropped sharply Thursday after the Supreme Court upheld the central provision of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, a requirement that almost all Americans carry health insurance.

The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of President Barack Obama's health care law, including the most disputed part: the mandate that virtually all Americans have health insurance or pay a fine. The mandate was upheld under the federal government's power to levy taxes.

House Speaker John Boehner says the Supreme Court ruling upholding the individual insurance requirement at the heart of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul shows the need to repeal the law.
