The
U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the provision of tax subsidies
under the 2010 Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama’s signature
health care law.
It
was the second time in three years the nation’s highest court has
handed the Obama administration a key victory in its fight to defend the
law, which has been under unremitting attack from conservatives since
its passage.
“The
Affordable Care Act is here to stay,” Obama said in a statement from
the White House Rose Garden after the court ruling. “This is a good day
for America.”
Shortly after the court’s decision was handed down, those hailing the ruling — and hating on it — lit up Twitter.
