U.S. high court upholds Obama health care law

The U.S. Supreme Court on June 28 upheld the heart of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, handing him a huge election-year political victory and keeping in force the legislative centerpiece of his term, a law aimed at covering more than 30 million uninsured Americans.

The decision means the historic overhaul — opposed by rival Mitt Romney — will continue to go into effect over the next several years.

The decision, written by conservative Chief Justice John Roberts, sided with Obama on the centerpiece of the law, which requires all Americans to have health insurance or face a federal fine.

"Whatever the politics, today's decision was a victory for people all over this country," Obama said. (AP)
