The U.S. Supreme Court handed President Barack Obama a major victory
Thursday, upholding the key part of his controversial health care plan in
a 5-4 decision.
.
The so-called "individual mandate" requires Americans to have health
insurance or face a financial penalty. U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts
sided with the court's more liberal justices, writing in his majority
opinion that "because the Constitution permits such a tax, it is not [the
court's] role to forbid it, or to pass [decide] upon its wisdom or
fairness.''
.
Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia
Sotomayor voted with Roberts to uphold the law.
.
President Barack Obama hailed the ruling as a victory "for people all over
this country whose lives will be more secure because of this law and the
Supreme Court's decision to uphold it." He also said the court decision
reaffirmed that in the United States, the wealthiest nation on Earth, no
illness or accident should lead any family to financial ruin.
.
"Whatever the politics, today's decision was a victory for people all over
this country whose lives will be more secure because of this law and the
Supreme Court's decision to uphold it," said President Obama.
.
Mr. Obama's expected challenger in the 2012 election, Republican Mitt
Romney, promised to repeal the law on his first day in office, if elected.
He said "Obamacare was bad policy yesterday. It's bad policy today," and
warned the law will cause up to 20 million Americans to lose health care
coverage they like or want to keep while also killing badly needed jobs.
.
"What the court did today was say that Obamacare did not violate the
Constitution," said Romney. "What they did not do is say that Obamacare
was good law or that it's good policy. Obamacare was bad policy
yesterday. It's bad policy today."
.
The Obama administration had argued the "individual mandate" is valid
under the U.S. Constitution because all Americans will need medical care
at some point in their lives, and there is no practical alternative to
insurance.
.
Twenty-six states filed suit against the reform law, contending that
individuals cannot be forced to buy insurance, a product they may neither
want nor need.
.
Republican lawmakers were quick to respond to the court decision, using it
to launch a renewed effort to repeal the law in its entirety.
