Poll Results: Supreme Court Upholds Obamacare in 5-4 Ruling

The Supreme Court decided on a 5-4 vote on Thursday, June 28, that the Affordable Care Act, which mandates every American to purchase health insurance, is constitutional.

Chief Justice John G. Roberts provided the decisive vote. The judges said the individual mandate cannot be upheld under the commerce clause, but that Congress's ability to tax and spend in this case is upheld. Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented.
