WASHINGTON – The U.S. Supreme Court this morning upheld President Barack Obama’s health care reform law, saying that the insurance mandate is unconstitutional but can survive because it falls under Congress' power as a taxing authority.

This means that the nation's high court says that Congress can tax people for not having health insurance.

This historic decision is a huge victory for President Obama and the Democrats, and will go down as one of the President's legacies.

The decision affects millions of people in California and around the nation, including many LGBT Americans.
