It seemed a very long shot and was dismissively ignored by the White House, much of Congress, and all of the media. Two years later, the fight to overturn the Affordable Care Act had grown fierce and the government's case was tottering. When, finally, the Supreme Court announced its ruling their judgment was so surprising that two cable news channels misunderstood it and announced that the Act had been deemed unconstitutional"-- Provided by publisher.
