The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Law on June 28, 2012.  The landmark decisions end two years of legal uncertainty and clear the way for full implementation of the 906-page law. Doing so includes establishing insurance exchanges in each state, prohibiting insurance companies from discriminating against the sick, and requiring nearly all Americans to prove on their income taxes that they carry health insurance starting in 2014.
