health care supreme court

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court is taking another look at President Barack Obama's health care law, and this time it's not just the White House that should be worried.

House Republicans, stung by the Supreme Court decision upholding President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, are seizing on one part of the decision to bolster their election-year case for repeal. They relish pointing out the court's judgment that the penalty for failing to get insurance is a tax.

Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld Obamacare, millions of additional people will soon have health insurance - and that's expected to make a doctor shortage in Jersey even worse.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell says regrets voting to confirm US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and thinks the odds of Republicans taking over the Senate after November's elections and him becoming the new majority leader are "50-50."

Republican leaders in Congress say voters will have the final word on health care in the November elections, and the GOP is betting that the law's unpopularity will be enough to drive Democrats from power.

Governor Christie say he is disappointed the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld key parts of President Barack Obama's federal health care overhaul -known as Obamacare.

The New Jersey health care industry is reacting to Thursday's U.S. Supreme court decision on the landmark Affordable Care Act.

Governor Christie called today's Supreme Court ruling on the federal health care law a "screwy opinion" but says New Jersey will meet any deadlines required to implement the law.

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 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.
