The U.S. Supreme Court handed a major victory to President Barack Obama on Thursday by upholding the nationwide availability of tax subsidies crucial to the implementation of his signature healthcare law.
Obama heralded the victory in the Rose Garden on Thursday. Meanwhile, politicians and other Americans have shared their support—or disappointment—about the decision publicly on Twitter.

At least 6.4 million people can exhale. Hearty congrats to @POTUS. #ACA is finally here to stay! Time now to build on what we’ve done.

Despite the Court’s decision, ObamaCare is still a bad law that is having a negative impact on our country and on millions of Americans.

Americans deserve better than what we’re getting with Obamacare. It’s time we repealed and replaced it! http://t.co/1EHfbVKBMa

Sadly, #SCOTUS has again stretched to save #Obamacare making plain the need to repeal & replace with a patient-centric market based plan.

#ObamaCare ruling is judicial tyranny. http://t.co/Di6WjxOc3y

It is outrageous that the Supreme Court once again rewrote ObamaCare to save this deeply flawed law https://t.co/NBAnohFTW7

Obamacare is the law of the nation. Republicans should stop wasting the time of the American people by trying to repeal it. Let's move on.

While the Supreme Court's #KingvBurwell ruling is disappointing, our fight for health care that puts #PatientsFirst is not over.

This decision turns both the rule of law and common sense on its head. #KingvBurwell

Today Democrats, and my guess is Republicans, are breathing one gigantic sigh of relief thanks to the 6-3 #SCOTUS ruling on #KingvBurwell.

Today's #SCOTUScare ruling means Republicans must redouble their efforts to repeal and replace this destructive & costly law. -SKW

Repeal of Obamacare and replacement with limited-government alternative in 2017 will be one of modern conservatism's finest hours.

Today’s ruling won’t change #Obamacare’s multitude of #brokenpromises. #KingvBurwell http://t.co/FSROSBjLag
