WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama calls today’s Supreme Court ruling on his health care overhaul, “a victory for people all over this country.”   The court, by a 5-4 vote, upheld most of the law, including the requirement that most Americans purchase health insurance.

Today’s Supreme Court ruling is spelled out in six opinions totaling 187 pages.

And three of the justices spent 51 minutes summarizing their views in the packed courtroom, as activists on both sides of the issue waited outside. The crowd in the court audibly exhaled when it became clear that the key part of the law, the insurance mandate, was being upheld.
