Poll: Supreme Court Upholds Health Care Law - What Do You Think?

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld President Obama's health care law today. Roberts joined the majority.

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld Thursday the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama's signature health care law, including the so-called indiviual mandate, which requires adults to purchase health insurance.

The justices ruled 5-4 in favor of upholding the law. 

The court decided the individual mandate law is constitutional not under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution, but under Congress' powers of taxation.
