Top US court to announce fate of Obama health plan
None
The US Supreme Court was expected to decide the fate Thursday of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, a ruling that could touch the lives of virtually every American and mark a pivotal point in the US presidential election.
The health care plan is Obama's signature accomplishment in the first 3 1/2 years of his presidency, extending coverage to most of the estimated 50 million Americans now left uninsured. Republicans are almost unanimously opposed to it. They say it will swell the US deficit while increasing government meddling in people's lives with its requirement that Americans obtain insurance. Polls show most Americans don't support it. (AP)
