Twice as many Americans support the Supreme Court’s decision last week to uphold a key provision of the health-care law as are opposed, according to a poll released Wednesday. When told that the court ruled to allow Americans to continue receiving subsidies to afford health insurance in all states, about 6 in 10 surveyed said they approve of the decision while about one-third disapprove, according to the latest tracking poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation.

The poll found overwhelming approval for the decision among Democrats, and strong disapproval among Republicans. But independents mirrored the national results, approving by 61 percent to 34 percent. (7/1)

The monumental lawsuits that threaten the core of Obamacare might be a thing of a past, but the same can’t be said about Americans’ enduringly negative perceptions of the law, several health experts said Wednesday. (Pradhan, 7/1)

It may have been fitting that the two marquee decisions — declaring a constitutional right to same-sex marriage and saving the Affordable Care Act from a potentially fatal challenge — came last week. That meant the court's liberal wing didn't lose a major case until Monday, the last day of the term. (Wolf, 7/1)
