This is the third time since 2010 that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) launched by former President Barack Obama has survived a legal challenge.

The law had given millions of low-income Americans access to medical insurance and banned insurance providers from denying coverage due to pre existing conditions.

The judgement was issued by a 7-2 majority that the challengers lacked legal ground to sue and failed to address the question if a key provisions in the law was unconstitutional, according to a BBC report.

Former President Donald Trump supported the legal challenge against Obamacare. He also promised to have the act repealed back in 2016 when he was elected as the US president.

Despite several attempts the Republicans failed to have the law overturned in Congress when they were in majority in both the houses and also in the the courts of law.

As of now 31 million Americans have been covered by healthcare under the ACA, which is popularly known as Obamacare, the White House said earlier this month, the BBC report informed.

The report said that the court did not even consider the merits of Texas arguments and instead held that the litigants lacked the standing even to bring the case, the BBC report stated.

Though Obamacare faces future challenges due to the conservative bent of many lower federal courts, it is clear that the top court of the country has no interest in striking down the deal, the report added.
