CLIPPING INTERNACIONAL (Supreme Court)
Obama cites health care -- not high court
case
President Obama touted his health care law today but
did not discuss the Supreme Court case that could
make or break it.
"Change is the health care reform we passed after a
century of trying," Obama told a campaign rally at the
University of Vermont in Burlington.
The high court is deciding whether the 2010 law
passes constitutional muster, particularly its
requirement that nearly all Americans have to buy
health insurance or pay a fine.
The justices held three days of hearings on the law this
week. They are likely to hand down a decision in
June.
White House officials say they are making no
contingencies in case the court strikes down the law
but are instead continuing plans to implement its
provisions.
Obama has not commented publicly on this week's
arguments.
Instead, at a pair of fundraisers in Burlington, Obama
included health care in a list of his accomplishments,
including the auto bailout, the end of combat
operations in Iraq and the death of Osama bin Laden.
At an earlier fundraiser in Burlington, Obama told
backers, "I said that we would get a health care law
that would provide near universal coverage so that
people don't have to go bankrupt when they get sick in
this country; we got it passed."
