High Court Backs Obamacare,Hits State Dissent; Rules States Did Not Show Harm by Obamacare

 The U.S. Supreme Court today (June 17, 2021) kept the Affordable Care Act --  more commonly known as Obamacare -- ruling in a 7-2 decision that Texas and 17 other states lacked a standing to challenge its constitutionality, the Fox News website reports. 


The states had argued that the law's individual mandate was unconstitutional once it no longer carried a penalty because it had been justified as falling under the congressional power of taxation. 


The court ruled that because the plaintiffs had not demonstrated any past or future harm, they were not in a position to bring the claim.
