Former President Obama said on Thursday that “The Affordable Care Act is here to stay.” 

In a series of tweets, Obama applauded the Supreme Court’s Thursday ruling upholding the act, saying it would ensure health insurance for millions.

“The principle of universal coverage has been established, and 31 million people now have access to care through the law we passed—with millions more who can no longer be denied coverage or charged more because of a preexisting condition,” Obama said.
