US Supreme Court upholds healthcare act
- 12 years ago
The United States Supreme Court has upheld a key part of President Barack Obama's health reform law.
According to the provisions of the law, all Americans must now have insurance to pay for medical treatment by 2014. Almost 50 million people currently have no access to health insurance in the US.
Republicans, however, say that the new legislation meddles too much in the lives of individuals.
