The Supreme Court upheld President Obama’s health care overhaul law with a 5-4 vote on Thursday. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. joined the court’s four more liberal members with his deciding vote.

 

In his remarks on the Supreme Court’s ruling in favor of his Affordable Health Care reform law, President Obama devoted a sizable portion of his remarks to a little-known Ohio woman Natoma Canfield who is a cancer survivor.  He was insired by a letter she wrote to him, which he now has framed in his office.
