A big win for the American people. \n\nThere\u2019s no better day than today to sign up for quality, affordable health care at http://HealthCare.gov\u00a0.\n\nWith millions of people relying on the Affordable Care Act for coverage, it remains, as ever, a BFD. And it\u2019s here to stay.https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1405550588201418756\u00a0\u2026

Today\u2019s Supreme Court ruling once again underscored the incredible strength of the ACA. A record 31 million people have enrolled in health care through the law \u2013 1.2 million more signed up using the special enrollment period, open through 8/15. Sign up at http://HealthCare.gov\u00a0.

The principle of universal coverage has been established, and 31 million people now have access to care through the law we passed\u2014with millions more who can no longer be denied coverage or charged more because of a preexisting condition.

Now we need to build on the Affordable Care Act and continue to strengthen and expand it. That\u2019s what @POTUS Biden has done through the American Rescue Plan, giving more families the peace of mind they deserve.

Why does Texas keep thinking it's boss over the rest of the states despite the fact that it can't even keep a stable power grid for residents, is fine with rampant gun violence, ranks 34th among the states in education, and 31st in healthcare--and has Ted Cruz as Senator?

VICTORY #ACA! It was stupid for the 18 states and 2 individuals to sue, because, they weren't being injured with a $0 mandate. I just followed SCOTUSblog. #ACAVICTORY!

My prediction of dissent was Alito and Thomas. I am shocked Thomas joined the majority.

Thank goodness! These anti health care lawsuits have been such a waste over the last 10 years.

This is a victory for all Americans, even if you don't get your policy from the ACA. It ensures coverage of pre-existing conditions from all insurance providers, allows coverage for kids up to age 26 and more.

I\u2019m still waiting to see the @GOP\u2019s better, cheaper, healthcare insurance plan. It\u2019s been over a decade now, still nothing. We do know they consider almost 600,000 Americans dying from a virus as \u201cacceptable losses\u201d.
