Today, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the Affordable Care Act is here to stay – for the second time.

MSNBC – ‘Obamacare' wins big at the Supreme Court

New York Times – "a sweeping vindication"

ABC News – "It's the second time"

Sadly though, the colossal decision hasn't stop Congressional Republicans from continuing their obstruction, dysfunction and distraction:

…we will continue our efforts to repeal the law and replace it  –Speaker Boehner

…we must repeal and replace this…law  –Leader McCarthy

Despite today's ruling, Republicans will keep fightingGOP Conference Chair McMorris Rodgers

…this committee will continue its work to…repeal and replace Obamacare  –Ways & Means Chairman Ryan

Enough is enough.  Americans don't want to see a 61st vote to repeal, undermine or destroy their quality, affordable coverage.  They want Congress to work together to improve the law, ensuring millions more gain coverage.  As Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said:

This is a victory for common sense and for all American families.  It is long past time for Republicans to abandon their assault on the newfound health security that the Affordable Care Act is providing millions and millions of Americans across the country.
