Mixed response to Supreme Court ruling: #tellusatoday

The Supreme Court voted to uphold Obamacare subsidies. We asked what people thought of the Supreme Court decision. Comments from Twitter are edited for clarity and grammar:

A great day for American health care. But I wish the vote had been 9-0.

The Supreme Court is supposed to defend the Constitution, not defend unconstitutional law. The justices have become as worthless as Congress.

—@kckokomo

As a Republican, I'm untroubled by the Obamacare decision. The 2016 election will now be won by whoever offers the most convincing reform.

—@theofficialjmg

This decision was politically driven.

I kept my same insurance and still go to the same doctors. My premiums actually went down as a result of this law.

My wife's family of hardworking laborers are now able to afford health insurance.

This was a good decision by the Supreme Court.

Had politicians spent the last several years coming up with a better idea, that could have been leadership. If they'd spent that time trying to improve the act, that would have been leadership. Instead, they've wasted years in endless Obamacare hissy fits. That's not leadership.

—Mitchell K Clasen

Americans will have universal health care one day. It will be when we wise up.

When it happens, we will love it and wonder why we didn't get it sooner.

History will tell American society that the crazy conservative leaders and voters were the cause of so much suffering.

—Joel Frese

Letters to the editor:

President Obama has had a great week. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Affordable Care Act and the House passed a crucial element of his fast-track trade bill. With these two issues behind him, the president now needs to turn his attention back to Iran. As important as health care and fair markets are, neither compares with peace in the Middle East. The American people are behind you, Mr. President. It's time to finish what you started with Iran.

Why do Republicans keep stating Obamacare limits health care choices? It offers more coverage and care to millions of Americans. People with long-term problems can keep their coverage. People with pre-existing conditions cannot be barred from coverage. It has been a boon to carriers by dramatically increasing their pool of subscribers. That's good for business. Before, private carriers were able to limit and ration coverage. Increased competition, as the GOP claims, will not bring costs down or make coverage more accessible.
