POLL: What Do You Think About the SCOTUS Decision to Uphold Affordable Care Act?

A majority of U.S. Supreme Court Justices voted to uphold the Affordable Care Act.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled to uphold the Affordable Care Act in a 5-4 decision written by Chief Justice John Roberts. 

From the decision: “Nothing in our opinion precludes Congress from offering funds under the ACA to expand the availability of health care, and requiring that states accepting such funds comply with the conditions on their use. What Congress is not free to do is to penalize States that choose not to participate in that new program by taking away their existing Medicaid funding."
