In a 5-4 decision, the U. S. Supreme Court has upheld most of the Affordable Healthcare Act, usually called Obamacare.
The law faced two threats to its survival this year-- this decision, and the possibility that Republicans, who vow to repeal the act if they win the upcoming elections. So, the fate of Obamacare is now back in the political arena, which is probably where it should be.
How this will affect the reform to help people move out of nursing homes if they wish is unclear. If the nursing home industry decides to try to use whatever political muscle it has to maintain its market share of the old and the infirm, reformers may face a challenge.
