The US Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, on June 28, 2012.

In a 5-4 decision, the Court ruled that the ACA's individual mandate, which required most Americans to have health insurance or pay a penalty, was constitutional under Congress's taxing power. The decision was a major victory for President Barack Obama, who signed the ACA into law in 2010, and for proponents of healthcare reform.
