The US Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act
Updated On: Jul 01, 2012 (13:11:00)

The Court's decision means that no one can be denied coverage due to pre-existing conditions; seniors will pay less for prescription drugs; students and young adults can stay on their parents? plans; and fewer Americans will be forced into financial ruin because of enormous medical bills.

For more than three decades, AFSCME members have fought for health reform that would make care affordable and accessible-?ensuring that everyone has it. In March 2010, we won this long battle when the Affordable Care Act was signed into law by President Obama. But health insurance companies and politicians who do their bidding immediately challenged it in the courts. Last week , we won the fight again? and the Affordable Care Act is here to stay.
