"The decision for the second time defused a potential conflict between Obama and the Supreme Court over his most prized accomplishment. While there are more challenges to come, an adverse ruling in this case would have been close to a mortal blow to the act that continues to divide the nation and its political conversation.
And the court decided the case in a way that made it less likely a future president could undo the subsidies without the help of Congress.
The court was interpreting a passage in the law that said the tax credits are authorized for those who buy health insurance on marketplaces that are “established by the state.” Roberts said that while the law’s wording was problematic, Congress’s intent was clear.
“Congress passed the Affordable Care Act to improve health insurance markets, not to destroy them. If at all possible we must interpret the Act in a way that is consistent with the former, and avoids the latter,” Roberts wrote."
