"The Supreme Court upheld President Obama's health care law today in a
splintered, complex opinion that gives Obama a major election-year victory.
Basically. the justices said that the individual mandate -- the requirement
that most Americans buy health insurance or pay a fine -- is constitutional
as a tax.
Chief Justice John Roberts -- a conservative appointed by President George W.
Bush -- provided the key vote to preserve the landmark health care law, which
figures to be a major issue in Obama's re-election bid against Republican
opponent Mitt Romney." USA Today
