The Supreme Court upheld a key provision in the Affordable Care Act on Thursday, prompting President Barack Obama to announce, "The Affordable Care Act is here to stay."
The Republican candidates for president refuse to accept that. The entire 2016 field—except for Donald Trump, for now—responded to the Court's decision by tweeting their opposition to the law, which most of them have pledged to repeal and replace.
I remain fully committed to the repeal of Obamacare-every single word of it. And, in 2017, we will do exactly that https://www.tedcruz.org/news/cruz-any-candidate-not-willing-to-make-2016-a-referendum-on-repealing-obamacare-should-step-aside/ ...

— Rick Perry (@GovernorPerry) June 25, 2015 The solution is for Congress to admit they screwed up, repeal the "nightmare of #Obamacare" & let states road-test real health care reforms.
— Gov. Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee) June 25, 2015 Today's Supreme Court ruling is another reminder that if we want to get rid of #Obamacare, we must elect a conservative President #RICK2016
— Rick Santorum (@RickSantorum) June 25, 2015 Sadly, #SCOTUS has again stretched to save #Obamacare making plain the need to repeal & replace with a patient-centric market based plan.
