The U.S. Supreme Court decided Thursday to effectively uphold the Affordable Care Act, bringing a two-year battle over the law's constitutionality to an end. The health-care reform law had sharply divided the country: Polls consistently showed divisive opinions among the public, 26 states openly challenged the law in court, while another 13 defended it alongside the Obama administration.
