‘Obamacare’ survives with top court ruling

The Supreme Court’s latest rejection of a Republican effort to dismantle “Obamacare” signals anew that the GOP must look beyond repealing the law if it wants to hone the nation’s healthcare problems into a winning political issue. Thursday’s 7-2 ruling was the third time the court has rebuffed major GOP challenges to Barack Obama’s prized healthcare overhaul. Stingingly for Republicans, the decision emerged from a bench dominated 6-3 by conservative-leaning justices, including three appointed by Donald Trump.
