The United States Supreme Court today upheld a key provision of the Affordable Care Act, ruling 6-3 that government subsidies that make health insurance affordable for millions of Americans should be available to all who qualify, including those living in states, including Alabama, that have chosen not to set up their own health insurance exchanges.

That’s good news for millions of Americans who now have health insurance they obtained through the federal healthcare marketplace, including some 1,600 individuals and families who were helped through the federal marketplace by staff at Russell Medical Center.
