Supreme Court Upholds Health Care Law - What Do You Think?

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld President Obama's health care law today.

The U.S. Supreme Court today upheld the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama's signature health care law, including the so-called indiviual mandate, which requires adults to purchase health insurance.

The justices ruled 5-4 in favor of upholding the law. The court ruled that the individual mandate law is constitutional not under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution, but under Congress' powers of taxation.
