OBAMACARE UPHELD IN U.S. SUPREME COURT RULING

In a 6-3 decision , the United States Supreme court has upheld a key portion of President Barack Obama's healthcare law.
This is a major victory for Obama administration. The court ruled that the law as a whole made subsidies available for people in all 50 states not just those who bought insurance through a state exchange.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the opinion,"Congress passed the Affordable Care Act to improve health insurance markets not to destroy them".
If the law was overturned, 6.4 million Americans would have been at risk of losing aid.
Obamacare , a 2010 law set up a federally run insurance exchange where Americans who were not covered by employers or government agencies could buy health insurance.
