Many in the White House advised Obama to focus on the economy instead of health care in his first term. But he went for it. And despite facing unanimous opposition from Republicans in Congress the bill was passed and now the Supreme Court has upheld it.
Had the court's decision gone the other way Mitt Romney would have made the case that Obama's first three years were "wasted" since the Supreme Court struck down the law. In fact, Romney began to make this argument last night at a rally in Northern Virginia.
Today's decision is what the White House was hoping for, but not necessarily what they expected. And it is certainly a win. But the question now is can Obama turn health care into a popular piece of legislation?
