Here's what the Supreme Court's Affordable Care Act ruling means for you

The Supreme Court's dismissal Thursday of the latest Republican-led challenge to the landmark health reform law, widely known as Obamacare, leaves in place the existing system. The act, which has survived multiple Republican attempts to tear it down in the 11 years since it was signed, has had a sweeping impact on the nation's health care system and on the lives of tens of millions of Americans.

Nearly 54 million Americans -- or 27% of non-elderly adults -- have pre-existing conditions that would make them uninsurable in the individual market prior to the law, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. As many as 133 million Americans could have been denied coverage, had their benefits delayed or curtailed or had to pay more for individual market policies because of their medical backgrounds, according to an Obama administration report.

This is how justices questioned the GOP Obamacare challenge 02:16Also, the law allows children to remain on their parents' plans until they turn 26. This has proven to be one of the more popular Affordable Care Act provisions and has helped lower the uninsured rate of this age group.Workers also no longer have to pay for contraceptives and preventative screenings, such as colonoscopies and mammograms. The law requires these be provided free of charge.

And thank God that they can keep it. Maybe instead of trying to take healthcare away from Americans, Republicans could work with Democrats to improve upon it, no that would be to much to ask.
